Status: RESOLVED WORKSFORME

(SeaMonkey :: MailNews: Message Display, defect)

Description

[Michael Graubart]

User-Agent:       Mozilla/5.0 (Macintosh; U; PPC Mac OS X Mach-O; en-US; rv:1.8b2) Gecko/20050617
Build Identifier: Mozilla/5.0 (Macintosh; U; PPC Mac OS X Mach-O; en-US; rv:1.8b2) Gecko/20050617

I attach (in two formats: mail and HTML) an e-mail received by me. It is
impossible to scroll down to read the bulk of the message because the contents
of the window extend so far to the right that no scroll bar is visible.

I tried forwarding the e-mail to myself, and when received, the forwarded e-mail
fitted perfectly normally into the window, and it was possible to scroll down.


Reproducible: Didn't try

Steps to Reproduce:
1.Open the e-mail.
2.Examine the window.
3.

Actual Results:  
The message extended to the right so that no scroll bar was available.

Expected Results:  
The message and scroll bar should have been contained within the window.

eMac G4, 1.25 MHz, Os X10.3.9, Classic theme.

do you also see the same problem loading your attachments in a browser window?

Andrew, no, when I open the saved e-mails in Mozilla (I am now on 20050619) they
look and behave correctly. So my attachments are not much good, I am afraid. 

Is it relevant that the source of this e-mail is the same as the one that
created (and still creates) the character-encoding problem with 'Forward'
(though not 'Reply') that I reported as Bug 287675?

This is an automated message, with ID "auto-resolve01".

This bug has had no comments for a long time. Statistically, we have found that
bug reports that have not been confirmed by a second user after three months are
highly unlikely to be the source of a fix to the code.

While your input is very important to us, our resources are limited and so we
are asking for your help in focussing our efforts. If you can still reproduce
this problem in the latest version of the product (see below for how to obtain a
copy) or, for feature requests, if it's not present in the latest version and
you still believe we should implement it, please visit the URL of this bug
(given at the top of this mail) and add a comment to that effect, giving more
reproduction information if you have it.

If it is not a problem any longer, you need take no action. If this bug is not
changed in any way in the next two weeks, it will be automatically resolved.
Thank you for your help in this matter.
