396190 - Forwarding message inline unexpectedly includes its attachment

Status: RESOLVED INVALID

(Thunderbird :: Message Compose Window, defect)

Description

[Jerry Peek]

User-Agent:       Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Windows NT 5.1; en-US; rv:1.8.1.6) Gecko/20070725 Firefox/2.0.0.6
Build Identifier: version 2.0.0.6 (20070728)

I received a plain-text MIME message with Content-Type: multipart/mixed.  The two parts had

Content-Type: text/plain; charset="US-ASCII"
Content-Transfer-Encoding: 7bit

and 

Content-Type: application/ms-tnef; name="winmail.dat"
Content-Transfer-Encoding: base64
Content-Disposition: attachment; filename="winmail.dat"

After reading the message, I went to the "Message" menu and chose "Forward As -> Inline".  The composition window I got had the inline text from the first part in its body, as I expected.  But (as I noticed after I sent it) the message also had the original sender's winmail.dat file (from the second part of the original message) attached to the forwarded message -- as if it were my own winmail.dat.


Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1.Open the original message to read it
2.Choose Message -> Forward As -> Inline
3.Look in the Aattachments pane fot a winmail.dat attachment
Actual Results:  
The inline message included an attachment

Expected Results:  
No attachment because I asked to forward inline.  Or, at least, a dialog box that says "The original winmail.dat attachment is a non-text file.  Do you want to attach it to your forwarded message?"

Forward inline/as attachment only says if you want the text inline in the mail or the original attachment as .eml in the forwarded mail. 

Both include the original attachment, that's no bug. You course after you hit forward, you can delete the attachment before you forward, but the opposite would be less convenient.
