User-Agent: Mozilla/4.0 (compatible; MSIE 6.0; Windows NT 5.1; SV1; .NET CLR 1.0.3705) Build Identifier: version 1.0.2 (20050317) If you open an rfc822 type attachment, you allways got the message itself in its attachment list. It is very confusing, when the "original" letter also had attachments, even rfc822 messages too. Reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1. Create a mail with a fey line in the body and has no attachment. Send it to yourself. 2. Forward this mail as an attachment to yourself again. 3. Open the second mail. 4. Open the attachment which should not have any attachment. (because this was your first e-mail) At this point, you see the attached letter as an attachment of itself. You will never reach the end of the self loop. Actual Results: Infinite loop. In a real life situation, you will never know what attachmant real, and what is not. Expected Results: :) Filter the opened rfc822 message part from attachment list. (or probably clear the attachment list, before adding the new letter's attachments)
This looks like a duplicate of bug 203570.
