When I try to read messages from @APPLE.EASE.LSOFT.COM the message is an attachment which cannot be opened. I've tried changing the attachment preferences (in-line / not in-line) and still cannot open the attachment.

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1.
2.
3.



Prior to August, mail from LGD-L@APPLE.EASE.LSOFT.COM came as a regular in-line message, no attachments.
Please attach a sample message. (Save as file, .eml)
I've attached an example of a msg that does not open for me. An example of a msg that does open, will be sent next.
note: 1) when I saved this msg so that it could be forwarded to you, when I opened the msg up in windows' browser, I could read the msg.
2) for those msgs that don't open, if I go to  View, View source, I can see the msg - after the entire header
here is an example - with full headers - of a msg that does open normally
this computer is running Vista.
You're in luck, the problem looks to be a blank content type, which was fixed in bug 155537. (So it will work in tb3, try a nightly build to make sure.)

Thank you for your help. I'm a bit confused though. By tb3 do you mean Thunderbird 3? I just checked and do not see a Thunderbird 3 - just the same version that I already have. Is there a Thunderbird 3 to download and will it fix this problem?
- thanks, Cecilia

also - what is a 'nightly build'?
- Cecilia
Yes, I meant thunderbird3, which is still under (early) development. Every night a test build is made, a "nightly" build. Can be downloaded one from here: http://ftp.mozilla.org/pub/mozilla.org/thunderbird/nightly/latest-trunk/

(Do expect some rough edges... and backups are always good to have.)

Do I down load just the thunderbird-3.0a1pre.en-US.win32.complete.mar?
- thanks, Cecilia
No, you probably want the thunderbird-3.0a1pre.en-US.win32.installer.exe
