From Bugzilla Helper: User-Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Windows NT 5.0; en-US; rv:1.0.0) Gecko/20020530 BuildID: 2002053012 I have a script that mails out a web page as a multi-part html file with attached gifs. The gifs are all thumbnails to other pages, so I set Content-Base and Content-Location in the header so the relative links in the web page will work (one is needed for users who use netscape/mozilla and the other is for those that use IE). This worked fine, until I switched from netscape to mozilla. The embedded gifs don't display correctly when either Content-Base or Content-Location is set, however the links work. If I remove both Content-Base and Content-Location, the images display correctly but the links don't work. Reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: I'm attaching the mail message with Content-Base and Content-Location included. I've been sending it to myself as follows. /usr/lib/sendmail waf < msg_file

hmm... this is really weird. Outlook Express shows the images inline. You can save the images and view them in Mozilla so the images aren't corrupt. I'm not really sure what's wrong. And I'm not sure how to debug this.

I'm not familiar with the mozilla code, but I would guess there's a routine somewhere that fetches the image, and it's getting confused about where to get the image from. You should be able to set a breakpoint in that routine and test this hypothesis.

perhaps this is a dupe of bug 61815 ?

not a dupe but if you change: Content-Base: "http://www.brunz.org/~waf/media/gallery/" Content-Location: "http://www.brunz.org/~waf/media/gallery/" into: Content-Base: http://www.brunz.org/~waf/media/gallery/ Content-Location: http://www.brunz.org/~waf/media/gallery/ it works! must be a bug in the Content-Base or Content-Location stuff. Will try to poke around but I could need some help in trying to get closer.

Yeah its the quotes in the Content-Base that's causes the problems. Looking at the code it seems like Mozilla is already stripping the " from the Content-Base URL. If you have: Content-Base: "http://www.brunz.org/~waf/media/gallery/" what happens is properly the following: the Content-Base is retrieved from: http://lxr.mozilla.org/mozilla/source/mailnews/mime/src/mimethtm.cpp#113 and then a <BASE tag is inserted into the displayed mailmessage at: http://lxr.mozilla.org/mozilla/source/mailnews/mime/src/mimethtm.cpp#132 but the quotes should be removed at: http://lxr.mozilla.org/mozilla/source/mailnews/mime/src/mimethtm.cpp#136 so I'm not sure what happens. I wish there where a way to display internal HTML that Mozilla uses the show the mailmessage. Is there?

Ok found the problem. Via the DOM Inspector I was able to see the internal HTML for the two messages. One that worked (without quotes) and one that didn't (with quotes): The HTML for the one that worked was: <IMG _base_href="http://www.brunz.org/~waf/media/gallery/" src="imap://gemal@imap.gemal.dk:143/fetch%3EUID%3E.INBOX.spam%3E11978?part=1.2&amp;filename=pic01.jpg"/> The HTML for the one that didn't work was: <IMG _base_href="http://www.brunz.org/~waf/media/gallery/" src="cid:part1.09040402.02020908@routescience.com"/> why the imap:// doesn't get inserted in the second mail with the quotes I dont know yet.

Henrik, from your last mail, it seems your use IMAP on the server. Have you tried using POP to see if the problem is also there?

Tried POP and same issue

Wada, fyi - another reason why inline images might fail
