User-Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (Macintosh; U; Intel Mac OS X; en-US; rv:1.8.1.2) Gecko/20070219 Firefox/2.0.0.2 Build Identifier: Mozilla Thunderbird version 2.0.0.0 (20070326) iMac 17" Intel Dual Core Processor Mac OS X 10.4 8 2GB RAM ------ I create a PDF file either from Acrobat Pro 7/8, or from the Print dialog, Save As PDF. The file is created and I can open the PDF generated file in Acrobat Pro - indicating that there IS a valid PDF file (not corrupted) I click on the Write toolbar icon in Thunderbird (on MAc OS X), and click on the Attach tolbar icon to open the Standard file dialog and choose a PDF file to attach. The PDF attachment displays as expected in the attachment window. To test, I do a File/Save As Template. I can see the paper clip icon indicating that there is, in fact, a PDF attachment. BUT if I select that email in the Template email list, then the paper clip disappears and there really is NO PDF attachment at all. If I send the email to someone/or myself, then there is NO PDF attachment showing or included at all. If I archive (zip on the Mac) the PDF file, and then attach the zipped PDF file, the attachment not only shows in the attachment window, but does not disppear - either in the Template email list, or when sent to someone/myself. This behavior has been occuring since Thunderbird 1.5 and continues through the current Thunderbird 2.0. NOTE: If I go through the same steps and do the PDF attachment on a Windows XP computer, the PDF attachment behaves as expected - there IS NO disappearing PDF attachment. Reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1.Noted in the Summary above 2. 3. Actual Results: No PDF attachment Expected Results: Any file that gets attached, should BE attached - unless for some reason, the attached file is corrupted in some way, None really - no themes,
Has this something to do with Bug 456733? Maybe its both the same bug?
I would guess - though I have not tested this - that the bug being described IS the same as bug # 456733.
