User Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (Macintosh; Intel Mac OS X 10.6; rv:8.0) Gecko/20100101 Firefox/8.0
Build ID: 20111104165243
Steps to reproduce:
Initially my boss brought this issue to my attention. He is running Thunderbird 8.0 on Windows 7 Professional (64-bit) on an Intel C2D/4GB RAM system. As I can duplicate the issue, it appears not to be OS-specific. Now what I did.
On my 24" iMac (2.66GHz C2D/4GB RAM) running Mac OS X 10.6.8, I have two IMAP accounts configured. One account is my general work email account. The other connects to a Cisco CallManager Business Edition appliance running CUCM v8.0.3.10000-8. This CUCM box is setup to allow users to access their voicemails via an IMAP interface, where each voicemail appears as a separate email with a .WAV file attachment. This is how most of the folks here are setup, and until the release of Thunderbird 8.0 yesterday, all worked well.
(Ok, not perfect, but it functioned. That is, until now, when you accessed this CUCM IMAP account, you'd get a list of emails, but none would indicate an attachment. You would click on a message, and at that moment the paperclip icon would appear to indicate an attachment, and you could open/save the attached .WAV file like normal. So slight UI glitch, but functionally it worked just fine.)
Actual results:
Now with Thunderbird v8.0, the opposite is happening. If you check your CUCM IMAP Inbox, you might see paperclips next to some messages (likely cached from previous views?), but if you click on any message, it appears blank with NO ATTACHMENTS! If you click on a message that was showing a paperclip, the paperclip disappears. But the key here is the loss of functionality. There is no way to open/save the attached .WAV file.
Note the message still shows a size that indicates the attachment is there. And looking at the source of the message, it is clear the message is still there in encoded form. I believe the problem may have to do with the particular headers provided by the CUCM version of IMAP... that somehow TB 8.0 isn't handling something it did in the past. The email messages are MIME 1.0 encoded, but unlike most emails, they are not a multi-part message. There is just the .WAV file encoded in the message.
Expected results:
Ideally, when accessing the CUCM IMAP Inbox, users should see all messages with paperclips next to them, and when an individual message is selected, the user should see the .WAV file as an attachment at the bottom and be able to open/save that file like any other email attachment.
To help this along, I did the following. I called myself and left a test voicemail message. I then selected this voicemail message from the CUCM IMAP Inbox and selected [other actions] and chose 'view source' from the popup menu. I am copy/pasting the contents of that to a text file, which I am attaching below, in hopes that this will provide insight into why TB 8.0 no longer shows the .WAV attachments.
If I can be of any further assistance, please advise.

This is an old bug (bug 372696) which could offer some help.
Comment 2•13 years ago

The mail is sent as actual "voice mail".
> Content-Type: audio/wav; name=VoiceMessage.wav
> Content-Disposition: inline; filename=VoiceMessage.wav; voice=Voice-Message
Where can we see ATTACHMENT? Even if Content-Disposition: is written, message body(payload, lines after message headers and first null line) can not be an attachment part in multipart/mixed mail.
AFAIK, Tb is not "voice mail player" yet, and Tb still doesn't have standard feature to show "message body" of non-multipart mail as if attachment(bug 372696 is a request for this), and Tb still doesn't have capability to play audio/wav file as "inlne attachment" even when it's an attachment in multipart mixed mail.
You say "this is Tb's bug(flaw in code of Tb)" because you opened this bug at B.M.O. Does it implies that many popular mailers such as Apple Mail, MS's mailer, ..., already plays the actual "voice mail" as you want?
> and until the release of Thunderbird 8.0 yesterday, all worked well.
Before "Tb 8.0 yesterday", which Tb version did you use?
Does "worked well" mean that you could save the "audio/wav data as message body" as a file because Tb before Tb 8.0 showed it as if attachment?
If so, former Tb releases perhaps showed as if attachmnt by quirks because Content-Disposition exists.
Tb 8.0 already has hidden feature for user's torelance with malformed mail or not-well-formed mail or unplesantly formed mail.
Is next new "All Bdy Parts" feature effective in your case?
(1) Tools/Options/Advanced/General, Config Editor,
mailnews.display.show_all_body_parts_menu = true
(2) View/Message Body As/All Body Parts
I think the new feature shows the "messsage body of non multipart mail" as if fisrt part in multipart/mixed mail, then it's shown as if attachment in attachment pane.
"Nothing is shown for attached mail with Tb 8.0" is observed.
Confirming.

With any View/Message Body As option, when "Forward" is requested, the audio/wav data is shown as attachment with filename in composition window.
This is phenomenon reported to bug 701619(application/pdf case)
It's possibly a phenomenon due to existence of Content-Disposition: even though message body of non-multipart mail.
Tb's decision on body or attachment is inconsistent. Even though apparent message body part of multipart mail, Tb sometimes treated it as attachment and didn't show as message body, merely by existence of name parameter in Content-Type: header. This kind of inconsistency produces funny phenomenon for user, and produces sudden behaviour change by small change in a Tb release.
The new "All Body Parts" mode is also for user's torelance with such unwanted problems.

Checked with last nightly build of 7.0a2.
> Mozilla/5.0 (Windows NT 5.1; rv:7.0a2) Gecko/20110816 Thunderbird/7.0a2
Even when Content-Type: audio/wav (no name) and no Content-Disposition:, Tb 7 showed the audio/wav message body as if attachment of filename=attachment.wav.
It seems existence of Content-Disposition is irrelevant.
It looks that Tb 7 or older had quirks of "show non-displayable message body as if attachment", and it looks killed by Tb 8.

This does present a problem, though. The option to view message body as all body parts breaks standard html rendering. I have several accounts in thunderbird and would like to view messages in all other accounts as standard html. Can this option be restricted to messages in one account as opposed to being applied globally?

seams to be a similar problem with my Tbs.
Under certain circumstances Tb8 does not show attachments.
With other mail clients (Outlook, android/K9) the attachments of the mails are shown. I'm using Tb and some other clients with IMAP on a private mail server with VMail/postfix under Linux.
In Tb8 Mails which have only an attached file an therefore only have one content like this
Content-Type: application/pdf;
name="Protokoll.pdf"
Content-Transfer-Encoding: base64
Content-Disposition: attachment;
filename="Protokoll.pdf"
are not shown with any attachment.
If I add an additional content header to received mail-file (editing the file on my mailserver) like this
Content-Type: multipart/mixed;
boundary="----=_NextPart_000_0001_01CC8E6C.8675EFF0"
This is a multi-part message in MIME format.
------=_NextPart_000_0001_01CC8E6C.8675EFF0
Content-Type: application/pdf;
name="Protokoll.pdf"
...
everything works fine.
So, I think there is a bug in Tb8 on handling mails with single contents if this content belongs to an application (Content-Type: application/...).

Confirming the issue and the workaround for Thunderbird 8.0 on Mac OS X 10.6.8. Before 8.0 this worked fine. The problem occurs for me on PDF attachments.
This is a temporary workaround at best. The behaviour of Thunderbird 7 (and earlier) is much preferred.

we receive many orders out of SAP-Systems as email from our customers. the bug occur on that mails, because the mail body is blank and the order is attached as a pdf-file.
I'm sure many other companies have the same problem now after the thunderbird 8.0 update.
In my opinion the importance of this bug should be higher.

Wow. I'm the one who logged this bug originally 3 weeks ago. And I've been reading all the emails coming in on this from bugzilla, which gave me the impression that this was a rather active ticket/issue. Clearly other folks are being affected by the changes brought in v8.0.
But I just now logged into Bugzilla and I see that this bug has yet to even be assigned to anyone!
"Assigned To: Nobody; OK to take it and work on it"
What does this mean?
Does this mean that not a single person who has commented is part of the Thunderbird dev community??
Has anyone from the Thunderbird dev community even LOOKED at this bug report, if only to determine its validity?
I realize this is an open-source project, but if the Mozilla developer community is going to go to a "rapid release" cycle of putting out new versions every 6 weeks (ESPECIALLY when they decide to simply force those version updates as they occur on existing users vs. the older, manual mechanism), they also should to at least try and make sure that all their Ooh-Aah features don't go breaking fundamental UI interactions that have existed for... well, as long as I can remember. This would include checking out new bug reports after a new version gets released, to make sure they didn't inadvertently bork something.
<rant>
Personally, I don't care for the rapid release cycle. This whole idiotic "full new version every 6 weeks" seems silly to me. Google puts out Chrome, the last browser to hit the market, and yet it's now at something like v15, whereas IE just hit v9, Firefox WAS at something like v4, and others like Opera were also with lower numbers. Thunderbird now follows suit. Does the Mozilla community now subscribe to the "Spinal Tap" theory of software versioning? "But...but... mine goes to 11", where they think the higher the version number, the better the product? Surely not.
Worse, however, is that this pace of releases is causing various things to break. If not addons like 1Password having to be rewritten due to the architectural changes in Firefox, then things like this bug. If the Mozilla community honestly thinks average Joe User gives a **** about technical features over stability/reliability, they really should look around a bit more.
New features are great. But don't cause so much grief that people get fed up and leave what is an otherwise incredible project because they become tired of disruptions to their workflow. Just because developer A added feature B that is "just so cool", it should not cause something else that has, until then, worked reliably to break.
Please, don't sacrifice Q&A so much that the product becomes usable only to geeks and techs who like to live on the bleeding edge and are willing to tolerate such disruptions. That's what alpha/beta versions were for.
I like Thunderbird and Firefox. But the more this continues, the more I have to reconsider recommending these programs to my less technical friends and family, as it causes me more support headaches. I'd be better off telling my Mac users to stick to Safari and Apple Mail, and my Windows users... well, I really can't tolerate leaving the poor bastards on IE or Outlook Express for any reason. But I could simply recommend they stick to web-based email like Gmail or Yahoo, and possibly use Chrome for their browsing needs.

Jim Porter, is your patch for problem of (4)? How about phenomenon of (2)?
I think there is no need to show message body as if attachment when displayable, even if Content-Disposition:attachment and/or name/filename is specified for message body of non-multipart mail.

Comment 39•13 years ago

This will display an attachment in the attachment pane for both cases (2 and 4). While it might make sense for the attachment pane not to include a named body if it's also rendered inline, Thunderbird doesn't follow that rule for multipart/mixed subparts. As far as I can tell, RFC 2183 doesn't specify that Content-Disposition is meant to be used only in multipart/mixed subparts; it looks like it can be used in the root part as well. Therefore, I think we should be consistent and handle body "attachments" just the same as multipart/mixed attachments.
In any case, the patch is wrong for another reason and I'll be uploading a new one shortly.

Libmime is full of mysteries. Apparently ProcessBodyAsAttachment is always run (presumably so that the "Show All Body Parts" option can treat the body as an attachment), which means that we shouldn't always treat the body "attachment" as having a name. Otherwise, every message appears to have an attachment.

Two mails of multipart/mixed, with non-displayable message body part.
part-1: audio/wav, no name (Voice00 in string)
mail-1 : no filename
mail-2 : with filename
part-2: text/plain, no filename, no name (Voice01 in string)
part-3: audio/wav, no filename, no name (Voice02 in string)
part-4: application/pdf, no filename, no name (Voice03 in string)
part-5: text/plain, with filename, no name (Voice11 in string)
part-6: audio/wav, with filename, no name (Voice12 in string)
part-7: application/pdf, with filename, no name (Voice13 in string)
(A) non-displayable message body part(part-1) is;
mail-1 (no filename) : not shown at attachment pane
mail-2 (with filename) : shown at attachment pane
(B) parts without filenam(part-2 to part-4) is not shown at attachment pane
parts with filenam(part-5 to part-7) is at attachment pane
Above (B) is phenomenon/problem of bug 705431 & bug 702938 and is irreleant to this bug, but (A) is relevant to both this bug(non-displayable message body) and bug 705431 & bug 702938.

Mmmaybe? That all depends on how you handle that patch. I'd say it's very likely that you'll be touching some of the same code as this, but the two changes are logically distinct. This one is basically about updating the non-multipart case to account for bug 564423 and bug 561851. The other bug is about adding logic for "Content-Disposition: attachment" means "this is *definitely* an attachment" right?

Body parts shouldn't always have names
thx, Jim - this does fix the basic problem.
this should be !id_imap, per our coding style guide:
+ tmp->m_isDownloaded = (id_imap == nsnull);
+
Do we need a separate test beyond the size test to verify that the attachment is added to the message, or is that redundant w/ the size test?

me too. We use Cisco Unity for voicemail and its emails look like this
MIME-Version: 1.0
Content-Type: audio/wav;
name="VoiceMessage.wav"
Content-Transfer-Encoding: base64
Content-Description: VoiceMessage
Content-Disposition: attachment;
filename="VoiceMessage.wav"
Totally valid MIME - TB just doesn't understand a non-text(ish) MIME message. I see a "blank" email instead of a "blank" email with an attachment (that's what Outlook does)

Fixed. Since I followed that style from another part of this file, I've made the corresponding change there as well.

No, the attachment size is emitted if and only if an attachment is added to the message.

I copied this into a sample .eml and it works as you'd expect.

I would advice to stop fiddling toes and get the socks off; this bug might be extremely detrimental to TB's general standing.
To me all reports seem to stem from received messages created by more or less 'single minded' automated systems transmitting simple attachments as the sole message.
Current TB handling of this scenario is obviously not optimal: A message with some contents signalled as attachment should at all times display an indication of and access to the attachment in question; this is fundamental.
The fix (or maybe rather 'cludge') presented very early by WADA (m-wada@japan.com) in comment 2 (https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=701261#c2) satisfies this requirement, but often clutters further handling of 'innocent' messages to an almost impossible degree - obviously not a perfect solution.
Best regards to all handling this!

This bug is fixed. The only thing that remains is backporting it to 9.0 and 10.0.

When I push the change to comm-beta (and then when the next beta is released).

(b) Content-Type: audio/wav => Body is not shown as attachment
(c) Content-Type: audio/wav
Content-Disposition: attachment => Body is not shown as attachment
Jim Porter, show as attachment/not show as attachment still based on existence of name/filename only? We still need to wait future enhancements/improvements for attachment/inline based one and/or displayable/non-displayable based one?
Anyway, VERIFIED by (a). Actual cases has name/filename in message header.

Correct. (c) (and possibly (b)) will be handled in bug 705431. Discussion on the proper behavior for these cases should happen in that bug so that protz sees it and can respond to it.

The landed on beta broke the build, I pushed a bustage fix but please double-check the patch as it looks like it was affected by bitrot:

That looks right, though it's really strange, since I had encountered some bitrot, and thought I'd fixed it. Guess not...
