Details

User-Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Windows NT 5.1; en-US; rv:1.3) Gecko/20030312 Build Identifier: Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Windows NT 5.1; en-US; rv:1.3) Gecko/20030312 In the message composition window, it appears that the user cannot view an already-attached attachment. (The right-click context menu has no View command or other command that seems usable to view the attachment. Double-clicking on the attachment line doesn't do anything. No menu bar menu item seems relevant.) In my case, I did a "Send Page..." from the web browser. The page was a result of a POST request, so I want to check that Mozilla really attached what was displayed in the browser (as opposed to what Netscape 4.x did: re-requesting the page, getting a different response document, and attaching something potentially entirely different from what I thought it was attaching). There does appear to be the workaround of sending the message to myself, checking the attachment (when it's then attached to a received message, as opposed to a message being composed), and then using the "Edit message as new" command (a very good feature!) to really address and send the message. Reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: My case: 1. View some page in the browser. 2. Invoke "Send Page..." 3. Try to view the attachment (right-clicking, double-clicking, selecting and trying menus). Expected general case: 1. Get into the message composition window. 2. Get into the state of having an attachment attached to the message being composed. 3. Try to view the attachment as above.
Summary: can;t view attachments in composition window → can't view attachments in composition window
