71675 - pdf attachment does not show when clicked

Status: VERIFIED DUPLICATE of bug 58925

(MailNews Core :: MIME, defect)

Description

[Rein Smedinga]

an email with one pdf-attachment in MIME format does not show up in any window
after clicking. Its starts up acrobat reader but finishes with an empty
mail-window. Also no intermediate window appears that asks for saving or opening
the file (as it does for e.g. word-documents). 
If more attachments are added to the email the save-all option can be used to
save the file(s), otherwize there is no possibility to see/print/save the
attached pdf-file

Which build are you using? it might be related to a transmission error we had
between February 21 to March 7. Could you try with a build from after March 7.

This bug seems to be equal to bug 58925, but with other OS (W2000 in stead of NT)

The same thing happens often in the browser: clicking on a pdf-link does start
the adobe acrobat reader, but after downloading the complete pdf-file, nothing
shows up in the (browser-)window.

I'm using build 2001-05-15-04 and this problem still exists.  Worse, on
my system, after starting Acrobat (which doesn't display anything), Mozilla
hangs.  Have to kill it via the Task Manager.  So could someone change the
severity of this to something higher - at least major?

My environment: Windows NT 4.0 (SP6).
