417866 - Unable to view embedded youtube movie in blog feed within the preview pane of the mail window

Status: RESOLVED DUPLICATE of bug 365998

(Thunderbird :: Mail Window Front End, defect)

Description

[Chee Hon]

User-Agent:       Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Windows NT 5.1; en-US; rv:1.8.1.12) Gecko/20080201 Firefox/2.0.0.12
Build Identifier: Thunderbird 2.0.0.9 (20071031)

The youtube movie embedded in blog feed in Thunderbird does not show up within the preview pane of the mail window or when viewed in a new window.

An example of the HTML code is as follows:
<object height="355" width="425">
<param name="movie" value="http://www.youtube.com/v/hsF0Eqs8yQ8&amp;rel=1">
<param name="wmode" value="transparent">
<embed src="http://www.youtube.com/v/hsF0Eqs8yQ8&amp;rel=1" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" wmode="transparent" height="355" width="425">
</object>

Apparently, Thunderbird is able to render the HTML code for the space (height=355 pixels and width=425) but the youtube movie does not show up within the mail window.
