686645 - Attachments not showing

Status: RESOLVED DUPLICATE of bug 674473

(Thunderbird :: General, defect)

Description

[SuD]

Attachment: email-no-adjuntos-resumido.eml

User Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (Windows NT 5.1) AppleWebKit/535.1 (KHTML, like Gecko) Chrome/13.0.782.220 Safari/535.1

Steps to reproduce:

A mate forwared this message to me (I'm using version 6.0.2).
Sorry I am only allowed to post a stripped down version of it



Actual results:

The message is displayed as it doesn't have attachments (also tried disabling extensions in safe mode).


Expected results:

Other clients (Outlook Web Access) show attachments correctly (several KMZ files).

The attachments are stored in a multipart/related context:

> multipart/related;
>   multipart/alternative;
>     text/plain;
>     text/html;
>   application/octet-stream;
>   application/octet-stream;
>   ...

Due to bug 351224 such attachments are no longer displayed even if they are properly wired with Context-IDs as seems to be the case here. This use case is handled in a follow-up bug to bug 602718, which will provide a workaround starting with Thunderbird 8.0.
