Details

User Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (X11; Linux x86_64; rv:5.0) Gecko/20100101 Firefox/5.0 Build ID: 20110622232440 Steps to reproduce: Received an email with multiple attachments - some of them are zero length. Used the "Save All..." to save them all to disc. Version of Thunderbird is Mozilla/5.0 (X11; U; Linux x86_64; en-US; rv:1.9.2.17) Gecko/20110516 Lightning/1.0b2 Thunderbird/3.1.10 on Kububtu 11 Actual results: The attachments which were zero length were ignored and not saved. Expected results: The zero length attached file should have been saved as an empty file. Zero length files are often used as flag to signify actions are required etc. Often a zero length file is used to record a time-stamp. Hence zero length files should not be ignored - they do have a value ! This used to work in earlier versions.
