95619 - Can't see all attachments after forwarding messages (IMAP)

Status: VERIFIED FIXED

(MailNews Core :: Networking: IMAP, defect, P1)

Description

[Michael Baffoni]

Condition: Netscape 4.78 forwards an email that contained 2 attachments, and
adds two more attachments to the forwarding email.

Observed behaviour: Only two attachments are available for access to download.

Expected behaviour: All four attachments should be available to access.

This behaviour does not occur when Mozilla is used to forward the message and
the additional attachments.

This still does not work.  I will forward one of the messages, and you tell me
if you see all 4 attachments (you can check by opening with Communicator 4.x and
you will see all four attachments, with Mozilla at least up to 2001100803 on
win2k) you will only see two.  If you can see all attachments, please let me
know what version of OS and build you are using.

The problem is that we are not showing the attachment of a forwarded message in
the attachment box. But we are showing the forwarded message itself as an
attachment. The problem is that normally if you double-click on the attached
message, we should open it into a new view message window in which its
attachment will show up. This is currently not the case, instead we show the
source of the message into a browser window. mscott, how hard do you thing it
will be to display rfc822 message into a message view window?

I can reproduce this problem only whith IMAP. POP works fine. Looks like IMAP
does not provide all the parts when reading the message! If I copy/move the IMAP
message to a local folder, then I am able to acces all the attachments!

I'll try to post a test message...

Attachment: Sample message to reproduce the problem

This message include a message (with Book1,xls, Book2.xls attachments and a
vcard) as well 2 other excel attachments (Book2.xls & Book3.xls) and a vcard.
In total, we should see all 4 excel attachments and 2 vcard but we see only the
first 2 excel attachment from the original message.

Attachment: Same test case but with smaller attachment content. This test case is correctly displayed, even from IMAP

When the message is smaller, we don't have any trouble to display it as well
showing all the attachments. Therefore I supect a problem in IMAP protocol.

oops, forget to say that in the second test case, the attachments are bogus,
don't try to open them!

Reassign to cavin

[David :Bienvenu]

this is probably a mime parts on demand problem

Comment 11

[David :Bienvenu]

Attachment: log of imap protocol for displaying the problem message

we fetch the mime structure correctly, but it's unclear to me if we generate
the correct structure for mime (we may just be out of sync with the 6.x mime -
the 4.x mime would not show you the attachments in forwarded messages, so we
may need to extend the imap code the same way mime was extended in 6.x)
