When I receive an email with an attachment of type Content-Type: message/rfc822; name="Vedr.: Nyt =?ISO-8859-15?Q?dom=E6ne_scandiatransplant=2Eorg?=" it would be great if it could open as a normal message instead of just as a plain text file. This is how it works in Netscape 4.x

ravn, this bug report is incomplete. Provide the Build ID you're reporting against, attach an example of the file type in question, and provide steps to reproduce the problem.
Naturally. I am not very familiar with good bug reports. This is Mozilla 1.0. To reproduce: Ensure that emails are forwarded "As Attachments" in the Preference Pane. Take any email and forward it to yourself. The original email is attached and you can write additional information yourself. When this email is received, the new text is shown at the top, and the attached email is rendered, with the header in grey. This is fine. If the attachment containing the email (in the attachment box) is then clicked, the attachment opens. Currently it opens on a "View Source" window, but it would be nice, if it was treated like any other message. The MIME-type of the attachment is shown above. I am uploading a sample message.

Confirmed using FizzillaCFM/2002061014. When the attached message is double-clicked, it's displayed as source in the browser window, rather than in .eml format. -->Attachments

I believe the suggested dupe is correct. That bug has been fixed (altho see bug 204350). Reporter (ravn): If for some reason this is still broken for Mac OS X, please feel free to reopen the bug. *** This bug has been marked as a duplicate of 143565 ***
