46238 - Invalid images dont get shown as link

Status: VERIFIED INVALID

(MailNews Core :: MIME, defect, P3)

Description

[Henrik Gemal]

If you recieve a mail that contains a image that isn't valid (data could be 
missing) and Mozilla tries to inline view it you just get the text "INBOX%....". 
This is because of the image lib not being able to show the image.

But in Netscape 4.x the broken-image was shows as a link, making it possible to 
save the attachment, by right-clicking of the broken-image icon and selecing 
Save As. This is not possible in Mozilla since the "INBOX%...." is not a link, 
it's just plain text.

If a invalid image is shown in the Mozilla browser it's possible to right-click 
on it, so should it be possible in the Mozilla Mail.

Henrik,
I thought we dealt with this issue already! Seamonkey does not show that box of 
attachment info. We have a pulldown menu for saving attachments. That is how it 
is represented. Showing the image inline is just trying to be more user 
friendly, but I explained in the old bug why this shows up this way.

Sorry, sorry, sorry...:)
I kind of thought that Mozilla did show some kind of broken-image stuff besides 
just the filename/location, but it seems that it doesn't.
