304431 - TB will not give access to .p7c attachment

Status: RESOLVED DUPLICATE of bug 243833

(Thunderbird :: Mail Window Front End, defect)

Description

[Loic]

User-Agent:       Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Windows NT 5.0; fr-FR; rv:1.7.10; Gecko/20050717 Firefox/1.0.6)
Build Identifier: Thunderbird 1.0, 1.0.6 and nightlie available today (12 aug 2005)

TB will not give access to a p7c attachment (for example a certificate bag back 
from a CA after certificate signature). Will not even display the "attachment" 
icon next to the message in the list.

However when looking at the message source, I get :
From - Tue Aug 09 15:59:39 2005
[snip : headers]
Content-type: multipart/mixed; boundary="----=_Part_224_14490158.1123595809101"

------=_Part_224_14490158.1123595809101
Content-Type: text/plain; charset="iso-8859-1"
Content-Transfer-Encoding: quoted-printable

[snip : message text]

------=_Part_224_14490158.1123595809101
Content-Type: application/pkcs7-mime; name=smime.p7c
Content-Transfer-Encoding: base64
Content-Disposition: attachment; filename=smime.p7c

[snip : base-64 encoded attachement, not displayed by TBird]

------=_Part_224_14490158.1123595809101--






Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Send a PKCS#10 Certificate Signature Request to a Certificate Authority that 
will send you your certificates back by mail (in a .p7c attachment, crafted in 
a mail like the one I pasted above)
2. Wait until you receive the CA response
3. Look aat TB received message list : there is no "attachment" icon next to 
it, you cannot open and/or save attachment, but looking at the source it's 
there.

Alternatively, use the above MIME structure, fill it with test content (replace 
[snip]s, and send it to yourself.

Actual Results:  
No attachment detected, or if it is, TB doesn't let me get it.

Expected Results:  
Let me open and/or save the attachment.
