User-Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (X11; U; Linux i686; en-US; rv:1.8.1.6) Gecko/20070725 Firefox/2.0.0.6 Build Identifier: version 2.0.0.6 (20070728) - Slackware package mozilla-thunderbird-2.0.0.6-i686-1 I open a message from my Maildir using "Open message". The message shows up perfectly in the standalone message window. Yet when I print, or "print preview", I get the raw source of the message. Reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1. Open a message 2. Print 3. Notice that it's wrong Expected Results: When Thunderbird prints a message, it should print what's displayed. It seems to depend on the extension of the file. When I manually copy the message somewhere and call it foo.eml (rather than "210" as it's actually called) printing works. If Thunderbird knows it's displaying a message, why does the printing stuff start all over again trying to guess the type of the file (and doing it wrong? The "file" command can figure out what it is)
I think a lot of people save messages for reference and print them. Therefore this is a pretty major feature not to work.

Has this been confirmed in a standard Thunderbird as distributed by Mozilla (your build ID mentions slackware)? I don't think I've ever seen that behavior. Not blocking on an unconfirmed bug, please check in the newsgroups or IRC tech support to get help confirming this bug.
Flags: blocking1.8.1.13?

How do you open that, exactly? At least in mozilla.org builds, files not ending in .eml can be opened by File | Open saved message
Summary: "Print" prints message source, not rendered view → "Print" prints message source, not rendered view (when file name does not end in .eml)
(In reply to comment #3) > How do you open that, exactly? At least in mozilla.org builds, files not ending > in .eml can be opened by File | Open saved message That's how I opened it. The message looks good in the display window; it's only on Print (or Print Preview) that the problem occurs. Will try to confirm this in a mozilla.org binary soon.

In comment 3 "in .eml can be opened" should have read "can *not* be opened...".
(In reply to comment #3) > How do you open that, exactly? At least in mozilla.org builds, files not ending > in .eml can [not] be opened by File | Open saved message Sure they can... just change the filename mask to "All files (*)".

Keeping wanted‑thunderbird3+ for now, low priority. Needs an owner, probably a minor fix once someone figures out what to change.
