472108 - Thunderbird IMAP Performance Issue: Multiple download of the email currently shown in window (when saving parts of that mail)

Status: RESOLVED DUPLICATE of bug 373040

(Thunderbird :: General, defect)

Description

[refear]

User-Agent:       Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Windows NT 5.1; en-US; rv:1.9.0.5) Gecko/2008120122 Firefox/3.0.5
Build Identifier: 2.0.0.18 (20081105)

When I try to save/detach some attachments of the email currently shown in the preview window (using IMAP), Thunderbird seems to download the entire mail for every single action ... although it's already in the memory anyway.

This is quite annoying if you want to detach all images attached to a 20 MB email using a slower connection. I mean, I can already look at all the photos in the preview window -- they are in the memory already anyway! Nevertheless, Thunderbird seems to load the entire mail again for EVERY single image to be detached.

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Open a huge email with several images attached.
2. Use "Detach all..."

Actual Results:  
Email seems to be downloaded again for every single attachment.

Expected Results:  
Email is in the memory anyway ... simply save the files and download the new plain message mail.
