318547 - No list of attachments when saving email as text file

Status: RESOLVED FIXED

(Thunderbird :: Mail Window Front End, defect)

Description

[Håkan Sidh]

User-Agent:       Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Windows NT 5.1; en-US; rv:1.9a1) Gecko/20051130 SeaMonkey/1.5a
Build Identifier: Thunderbird version 1.5 (20051025)

When saving an email as a text file (File > Save as > File, and ".txt" as file extension) there is no list of attached files included in the resulting text file. The email could be a recieved email or sent email.
With a previous version of Thunderbird (sorry, not sure about version number... probably somthing around 1.0/1.2) a list of attached files was included when an email was saved as a text file. 

I have: 

1. Installed ant tested the latest nightly build of Thunderbird (version 1.6a1 (20051130)): the problem is still there.

2. Installed ant tested the latest nightly build of Mozilla (SeaMonkey Build ID: 2005113010) to verify that this is not a bug in Mozilla: a list of attached files _is_ included in the text file.



Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Save an email with one or more attachments : ("File" > "Save as" > "File")
2. Choose ".txt" as file extension
3. "Save"

Actual Results:  
The text file (email.txt) does not include a list of attached files.

Expected Results:  
A text file including a list of attached file/files (as in earlier versions of Thunderbird and as in Mozilla).

Confirmed.  A message with attachments saved as text by 1.0.7 shows an attachment list at the end; 1.5rc1 and 1.6a1-1201 do not.

Wfm TB 17.0.6, WinXP (both for messages whose main part was format/flowed and multipart/alternative including text/html).

Was confirmed as regression before, and is now working again, so as things don't tend to fix themselves, I think we can call this fixed (in honor of those who did).

Pls reopen if this happens to fail for some other odd mail structure.
