User Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (Windows NT 6.1; rv:7.0.1) Gecko/20100101 Firefox/7.0.1
Build ID: 20110928134238

Steps to reproduce:

Just have receaved a common message  with an attachment.


Actual results:

The attached file does not apear as so. Opening the source code of the email, the attach is there. 


Expected results:

It should be shown when oppening the body email. Two of my user have  complaind about this issue. Whem oppening the same email in our webmail it is shown normally. I tried installed an older version (like 6) and the issue is there as well. Just whem using the TB 3 (quite old), it worked fine. My server is IceWarp 10.3.4, but the issue was noticed still in version 10.2.x.

What part in mail do you call by your "an attachment"?
(a) non-referred and/or non-displayable part under multipart/related
(b) image part under multipart/related which is correctly refered by cid: url in html  
(c) other
As Suspected=fix bug 351224, if (a), dup of bug 674473, and if (b), dup of bug 602718.

Comment 3

[Flavio]

I mean what follows the code:
################# Begin
--b1_4ac6bb3ae505284748f85891a7389b33
Content-Type: application/octet-stream; name="SMN - CERTA.xls"; charset="UTF-8"
Content-Transfer-Encoding: base64
Content-Disposition: attachment; filename="SMN - CERTA.xls"
################# End
If you try to open the .eml in mail clients they will show as an attached file (SMN - CERTA.xls). This file apears correctlly in much older versions of Thunderbird (3.x by example) and outlook, as an example.

Just to make an extra comment: have just updated my client to TB version 8.0 and the issue persists.

Comment 4

[Thomas D. (:thomas8)]

Attachment: Testcase .eml with .xls attachments (zip)

This is same testcase as attachment 569948 [details], now in .zip format (more easily accesible than .rar).

I didn't want to add .eml directly for privacy reasons.

Comment 5

[Thomas D. (:thomas8)]

TB12.0.1/WinXP

Worksforme: Testcase of attachment 569948 [details] (rar), same as attachment 627120 [details] (zip)
Both attached application/octet-stream (.xls) of test message are correctly shown in message reader as attachments (albeit of unknwon size), and open correctly.
