299609 - rfc822 type attachment always contains itself, causing an infinite loop

Status: RESOLVED DUPLICATE of bug 203570

(Thunderbird :: General, defect)

Description

[atus]

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)
