701619 - Attachment not showing up unless I forward email

Status: RESOLVED DUPLICATE of bug 701261

(Thunderbird :: General, defect)

Description

[Roman Volf]

Attachment: 37524.eml

User Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (Macintosh; Intel Mac OS X 10_7_1) AppleWebKit/535.7 (KHTML, like Gecko) Chrome/16.0.912.32 Safari/535.7

Steps to reproduce:

Opened email received from a certain person. 


Actual results:

PDF is attached to email, but Thunderbird does not appear to recognize the attachment unless I forward the email, at which point it will show up as an attachment in the new compose window. 


Expected results:

It should have seen the attachment. I saved the email as a .eml file, and tried opening it. Same result. Tried it on another T-bird 8 installation, same result. Opened .emil file in Sparrow and Outlook 2011, and they see the attachment just fine. Attachment shows up in gmail as well.

FYI, this only started happening after the upgrade to Thunderbird 8. It is happening to emails received before and after the upgrade, but all the emails are from the same person.

Upgraded from which Tb version to Tb 8? 

application/pdf mail version of bug 701261 on audio/wav mail?

Actual "PDF mail", which Tb doesn't(can't) support.
> Content-Type: application/pdf; name="test.pdf"
> Content-Disposition: attachment; filename="test.pdf"

Closing as dup, because there is no need to keep different bug open for "Voice mail" and "PDF mail" which Tb currently doesn't support.
