If an e-mail, Internet page or file with the following html
<!DOCTYPE html PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD HTML 4.01 Transitional//EN">
<html>
<head>
<meta content="text/html; charset=ISO-8859-1"
http-equiv="content-type">
<title>doorheen?</title>
</head>
<body>
<br>
<div style="position: absolute; left: 262px; top: 16px;">is this going through the body of the e-mail?<br>
</div>
</body>
</html>
is forwarded as inline, forwarded as attachment or normally attached to an e-mail and the e-mail is sent or saved as draft then the e-mail, Internet page or file shows through the body of the e-mail.
I've seen this error for years with Mozilla and Seamonkey e-mail clients when sending certain Internet pages or forwarding certain html-emails/newsletters to people, either inline or as attachment. Now I tested the html with validator.w3c.org and corrected it until it was valid Html 4.01 but this wasn't the problem. Finally I discovered what causes this: absolute positioned elements in html. So when an e-mail is displayed with e.g. an attachment containing an element that is absolute positioned at e.g. 200 points from the top of the attachment then the element is displayed 200 points from the top of the e-mail instead of 200 points from the top of the attachment. Can this be corrected? Please both for forwarded as inline as well as attached html?
Reproducible: Always

While the Seamonkey (pop) e-mail client displays e-mails with such html wrongly, the same e-mail is displayed correctly as web-mail by http://mail.yahoo.com

Can you reproduce with SeaMonkey v1.1.9 ?

The symptoms described here result from the fact that we display all mime parts in a single document.
