359531 - replay to attached message/rfc822

Status: RESOLVED DUPLICATE of bug 204350

(Thunderbird :: Mail Window Front End, defect)

Description

[Aleksandar Milivojevic]

User-Agent:       Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Windows NT 5.1; en-US; rv:1.8.0.7) Gecko/20060909 Firefox/1.5.0.7
Build Identifier: Mozilla Thunderbird version 1.5.0.7 (20060909)

If I open message/rfc822 attachment, the standalone message window opens.  The window has replay / replay all / forward buttons.  However, they don't seem to be functional.  They are not disabled.  Clicking them, nothing happens.

Being able to directly reply to the attached message/rfc822 would be great feature.  For example for mail list digests.  The user interface is already there, it just needs a fix to make it work.  It would be even nicer if reply button is also displayed for each message/rfc822 when viewing the main message (for example located alongside the headers).

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. open message that contains message/rfc822 attachment
2 [review]. double click on attachment (opens message view window that displays attachment)
3. click replay, replay all or forward buttons

Actual Results:  
Clicking on replay, replay all or forward buttons in message view window that displays attachemnt produces no action.

Expected Results:  
It should open compose window, replaying directly to attached message/rfc822

This has been fixed for TB 2.0.  In the meantime, you can workaround by saving the attachment as a .EML file, and opening the file (File|Open Saved Message);
in 1.5, reply works in the standalone window of a .EML file.
