Status: RESOLVED DUPLICATE of bug 434347

(Thunderbird :: General, defect)

Description

[Fred Gagnon]

User-Agent:       Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Windows NT 5.1; en-US; rv:1.9) Gecko/2008051206 Firefox/3.0
Build Identifier: multiple: Thunderbird 2.0.0.14 and Mozilla 5.0 firefox 2.x and 3.0 beta

Filed also as Firefox bug 434347.


Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. open email from a perticular sender 
2.
3.
Actual Results:  
image overlaps text

Expected Results:  
1. top of image should start below previous text.
2. subsequent text should start below image. 

I can forward a copy of an example email if it will help

The writer of the associated html code wrote to the source of the email (not me) the following in response to my forwarded complaint: 
"There's no real magic here.  It's a simple HTML with a couple of formatting commands that Firefox may not understand.
 
I found firefox was not able to handle some of the newer commands when I was coding your webpage.  That's not really a Microsoft problem as they are the lead dog.  If Firefox wants to compete, they have to stay current with the W3 Consortium and IE.  The commands are not hidden and functionality is published.  I'm not taking sides of IE over Firefox or vice-versa, but if you are going to stay in the running you have to at least match if not beat the leader."

Firefox and thunderbird use the same rendering engine, duping this bug.
