Description

[Onno Ekker [:nONoNonO UTC+1]]

User-Agent:       Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Windows NT 5.1; en-US; rv:1.8.1.11) Gecko/20071127 Firefox/2.0.0.11

For mail that have an empty body and an attachment, the attachment is displayed in the alert notification window for new mail, when you have enabled the message preview text option.

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:

2 [review]. Wait for the New mail alert notification

Actual Results:  
See attachment (I hope I can add attachments later on...)

Instead of showing garbled text depending of readability of the attachment, it would be nice if Thunderbird showed a paper clip, the icon associated with the attachment type and the attachment name.
