375478 - Can't reply to a message forwarded as attachement or save the attachements of that mail

Status: RESOLVED DUPLICATE of bug 204350

(Thunderbird :: Mail Window Front End, defect)

Description

[Mirko Doelle]

User-Agent:       Mozilla/5.0 (X11; U; Linux i686; de; rv:1.8.1) Gecko/20061010 Firefox/2.0
Build Identifier: Thunderbird Version 1.5.0.10 (20070221)

When trying to answer a forwarded mail, nothing happens. Allthough, when trying to save the attachements of a forwarded mail, Thunderbird can't write the attachement to disk.


Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
Let someone else forward you a mail he received, as attachement. When you get the mail, the original one is listed as attachement "ForwardedMessage.eml" or with the title of the original mail.

Doubleclick this attachement. Thunderbird opens the original message in a new message window, showing the content and (if present) the attachements that have been sent with this original message. The message window is full featured, e.g. has all buttons like reply, reply to all, forward, etc. visible. When klicking on any of these buttons, e.g. to reply to the original mail, nothing happens. Nor you can forward the original message to anybody, again nothing happens when pressing the button in the mail window of the attachemend. Plus you can't save the attachements of the original message, the file save dialog opens, but claims not to be able to save the file.
Actual Results:  
Nothing happened.

Expected Results:  
I expected a compose message window when trying to reply to the original mail (that was forwarded as attachement to me).

Also tested with Thunderbird 1.5.0.8, same behaviour.

I forgot: When getting the same original messages bounced instead of forwarded as attachement, I can reply to them and save the attachements as intended.
