Reporter, what Build ID are you using?
hmm... I get a "no preview available' message for the html file on my desktop.
This only occurs in OS 8.6, and not OS 9.0.4, or 9.1. I have not tested it in other Mac OS's. Build 20010821 Netscape6/6.1b1

Reporter, you must report bugs with Netscape's builds on their bug reporting form ([http://help.netscape.com/forms/bug-client.html]). Marking this bug INVALID for now. If you wish, download a 0.9.3 build and retest with that. If you can reproduce using a Mozilla.org version, then don't hesitate to reopen this.
marking verified. REOPEN if you see this still happening in current build.
Status: RESOLVED → VERIFIED
QA build 20010911 Netscape6/6.2 This is still occurring in the above build. Note: Only occurs in Mac OS 8.6.
Status: VERIFIED → UNCONFIRMED
Resolution: INVALID → ---
Reporter, that is still a Netscape build. You MUST download a Mozilla build from Mozilla.org to report bugs to Bugzilla. Do NOT report any additional bugs pertaining to a Netscape QA build to Bugzilla.

Greg: Bugs found in Netscape QA Builds are still valid issues, and will be reported through Bugzilla. Please don't close bugs against QA builds as invalid. ~James Baxter Software QA Engineer America Online
Reopening bug for clarification. I am using a Mac Mozilla Debug build from yesterday. When I try to preview any of my html or text files, I see "No preview available." in that area. Reporter--is this what you are talking about? Newly cc'd people--opinions??

James Baxter--could you clarify on what you expect to happen for this bug? Setting milestone to Future until we can truly assess.

Brade - I was simply asking that this bug *not* be marked invalid because it was reported on a QA build. I am not sure as far as the behavior goes - it looks like the reporter is seeing HTML tags in the Preview screen, and they expect the page to appear as it would in a web browser.
To fix this, we'd have to do a Nav services preview proc that embeds Gecko in the Nav services dialog. Scarey.

Ever confirmed: true
does IE do a preview in their html open file dialog?
This isn't specific to Composer. Presumably Navigator also has this problem with the Standard Open dialog. I wouldn't be surprised if a duplicate bug of this existed. -->XPApps GUI Features for reassignment/evaluation

IE does not preview HTML docs. If the file has a .html extension you just get a document icon as the preview. If it's .txt you'll see the first few lines of the file. Not that this wouldn't be an interesting enhancment (hrm, embed Gecko in a NavServices dialog, maybe scary is a better term :-) but it certainly isn't what I'd consider a problem/bug.
Oops, forgot to say that I'm using Mac OS X and referring to the version of IE with Mac OS X when I say it doesn't do previews
Target Milestone: --- → Future
This bug is targeted at a Mac classic platform/OS, which is no longer supported by mozilla.org. Please re-target it to another platform/OS if this bug applies there as well or resolve this bug. I will resolve this bug as WONTFIX in four weeks if no action has been taken. To filter this and similar messages out, please filter for "mac_cla_reorg".
This bug applies to all MacOS.
