30241 - Going from a Mozilla sendt mail to a non-Mozilla sent mail shows incorrectly

Status: VERIFIED FIXED

(SeaMonkey :: MailNews: Message Display, defect, P3)

Description

[Henrik Gemal]

This problem took me quite some time to figure out, but here I go.
To reproduce:
- Send a mail from mozilla to you mail account
- Sendt a mail from Netscape 4.72 to your mail account
- Read the mozilla mail with Mozilla. See attachment 1 [details] [diff] [review]
- Read the Netscape mail with Mozilla. See attachment 2 [details] [diff] [review]

The problem:
Under the To: there are a blank gray area. This seems to be cause be the first 
mail(mozilla mail) showing the User-Agent info in this field. Moving to the 
Netscape mail the gray area doesn't get deleted and the display of the mail is 
getting wrong.

Hope you see the problem...

The problem only shows when moving from a mozilla mail (with the useragent info 
field) to a non-mozilla mail (without the useragent info field)

So the problem is that we still have the extra toolbar (if that's the right
name) for the User-Agent header, even when the message doesn't contain the
User-Agent header? Reassign to mscott. We're going to have to figure out the
whole View|Headers feature in beta1.

beta2, I mean.

The problem is not which headers to show or not! The problem is a mail layout 
bug, caused by showing the User-Agent info in Mozilla generated mails.

good deduction, Henrik!  I've seen this too.

I fixed this on Saturday. We no longer display the user agent string in the UI.
So that entire toolbar is now gone. There's still a bug out there that evaughan
owns where boxes weren't properly being resized to 0 if all of it's contents
were hidden. (That's what was going on here).

henrik - can you verify? Thanks.

Actually I think the problem was never what I described. I still have the 
problem where I can see part of the other mail. I think it must because of the 
bug that mscott describes.
