Description

[Laurent Bauvens]

User-Agent:       Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Windows NT 5.1; fr; rv:1.8.1.4) Gecko/20070515 Firefox/2.0.0.4
Build Identifier: Mozilla Thunderbird version 1.5.0.2 (20060308)

When you send a message starting from a draft or a template which contains inline attachment, the person who received it can click on the hyperlink but nothing happens. The attachment can't be open.

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1.Edit a new mail
2.Insert an hyperlink which points to a local file (ie file:///C:/dir1/dir2/myfile.pdf)
3.Save the new mail as a draft and close the window
4.Select saved message in the draft folder and click on the link. The attachment is opened correctly.
5.Display saved draft source code. the link points to "cid:[e-mail]"
6.Open the new draft and send it.
7.In the Send folder, select the mail and display its source code. The link is like "mailbox:///C%7C/Documents%20and%20Settings/USER/Application%20Data/Thunderbird/Profiles/azerty.default/Mail/Local%20Folders/Drafts?number=84840&part=1.2&filename=myfile.pdf"
and the mail doesn't contain any attachment. The link refers to the local draft folder.
8.Close the source code window; select the mail and click on the link. Nothing happens.
9.Open the mailbox which has received the mail
10.Click on the link. Nothing happens
11.Display the mail source code. The link is same as viewed in send mail.
Actual Results:  
The mail received contains an inline attachment link which doesn't work

Expected Results:  
The mail received contains an inline attachment link which works fine

The issue can be found in Thunderbird versions 1.x, 2.x and also in 3.x alpha

I think bug 391635 is obviously related to bug 382807 but not to bug 307023 because the URI is complete but false.

fairly certain there are dupes/related bugs of this

Comment 6

[[:Aureliano Buendía]]

The STR in bug #219675 seems closely STR in this bug (with some variations).
Closing as dupe of bug #219675.

Feel free to reopen it if I'm wrong.
