However, the Content-Type header incorrectly displays the content-type of the main email you are viewing, instead of the content type of the attached email. If you view the message source, you will see the correct content-type. However, if you copy the email from the inline view, you will end up losing the data that describes the content type of the attached email. I will submit two attachments showing the problem. Reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1. Send yourself an email with an attached plaintext email message. 2. View this email in mozilla mail. 3. Notice the content-type of your attached message is shown as a multipart, even though it was plaintext. 4. View message source to confirm inaccuracy.

This screenshot shows the incorrect Content-Type that is being displayed for an email attachment being shown inline (circled in red). The content type shown is actually that of the main email message that includes this attachment. I have blacked out some areas to protect our network identities.
This is a screenshot of the email being shown in a separate window, done by double-clicking on the attachment. You can see the content-type (circled in red) is correctly shown as text/plain. I have blacked out some areas to protect our network identities.

By the definitions on <http://bugzilla.mozilla.org/bug_status.html#severity> and <http://bugzilla.mozilla.org/enter_bug.cgi?format=guided>, crashing and dataloss bugs are of critical or possibly higher severity. Only changing open bugs to minimize unnecessary spam. Keywords to trigger this would be crash, topcrash, topcrash+, zt4newcrash, dataloss.
