312289 - Rendering of attached inline images in HTML mail fails when single quotes are used with src attribute

Status: RESOLVED DUPLICATE of bug 225245

(Thunderbird :: Mail Window Front End, defect)

Description

[Tim Jackson]

User-Agent:       Mozilla/5.0 (X11; U; Linux i686; en-US; rv:1.7.12) Gecko/20050922 Fedora/1.0.7-1.1.fc4 Firefox/1.0.7
Build Identifier: Mozilla/5.0 (X11; U; Linux i686; en-US; rv:1.7.10) Gecko/20050720 Thunderbird/1.0.6 Fedora/1.0.6-1.1.fc4

If a HTML mail is received with inline images *which are attached to the mail*
(i.e. where the image src attribute is "cid:..."), Thunderbird fails to render
the images if single quotes are used with the src attribute. It instead shows
the attached image as an "attachment".

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. View attached mail
Actual Results:  
The inline image is not shown, and Thunderbird indicates an attached image.

Expected Results:  
Display the image inline as normal.

I have tested and this bug does not occur when rendering externally-referenced
images (e.g. <img src='http://example.com/someimage.jpg'> works fine)

Attachment: Minimal testcase demonstrating bug

The attachment demonstrates the bug with a minimal testcase. Replacing the
single quotes surrounding the contents of the image's src attribute with double
quotes will make Thunderbird render the mail correctly.

Also confirmed on Win32 1.0 build.

From <https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/page.cgi?id=bug-writing.html>:
 "[B]e sure to reproduce your bug using a recent build.... the bug you're 
reporting may already be fixed."

"Recent build" does not mean 1.0.anything -- today, it means, at the very 
oldest, using 1.5b2, and preferably a trunk (1.6a) build.
