8675 - Can't display headers for mail or news on 6/22 builds

Status: VERIFIED FIXED

(MailNews Core :: MIME, defect, P3)

Description

[Scott MacGregor]

With todays M8 builds, we can't display message headers. When you click on a
message, the header frame comes up blank.

Scott Putterman and I tracked it down to a change in:

mozilla/mailnews/mime/src/nsMimeConverter.cpp
mozilla/mailnews/mime/src/comi18n.cpp

We don't know what part caused the breakage but backing out both files made
header display work.

Oh just to clarify, I'm talking about headers in the message pane NOT the thread
pane.

Oh, I thought you were talking about headers in the thread pane.  The message
pane headers are less urgent for us.  Changing severity to major.

Is this for all platforms?
Set target milestone to M8 since we have to fix this soon.

Accepting, I have a fix and will check in today.

Fix checked in mime/src/comi18n.cpp rev=1.31.
This should fix the display problem of non MIME encoded headers. MIME encoded
header display should continue to work (verification for IQA).
Setting platform and OS to All.

This is verified for 6/24 Win32 and Mac builds.  Unable to verify on today's
Linux builds due to bug 8849.

Kat - can you verify the IQA part that nhotta refers to?  Pls report your
findings in this bug report. Thanks.

** Checked with 6/24/99 Win32 M8 build **

MIME-encoded headers in Latin 1, Japanese, UTF-8, and
other languages are showing correctly in message pane
headers as well as in in thread pane headers. Verified that
they continue to have no problem with this fix.

Thanks.  I'll wait until Linux is running and will verify this bug.

Comment 7

[lchiang]

6/25 Linux builds passed the basic smoke test which includes loading a folder
and a message.  Marking verified.
