Oops -- make that bug 149771 (not bug 148771). Thanks.

I have experienced this as well. Mostly with messages imported from Eudora.

I have been seeing this with messages originating from OE 5.5 and up on news server news.annexcafe.com. In one case the news admin had to email me so I could read an important staff announcment.

I have seen this too, especially with imported messages from Eudora as well (using TB 0.2)

Still happening to me as of TBird release 20031026. For me, it happens for about 75% of messages that contain attachments and does not seem to follow a pattern based on sending mail client. Messages instead display "This body part will be downloaded on demand." Original message will display if "View" -> "Message Body As" -> "Plain Text" is selected.

I get the message for some mail in Mozilla 1.6 too: This body part will be downloaded on demand.

I have the same experiences. Message "This body part will be downloaded on demand." appears when I replay this mail too, but when I forward this mail appears the orginal mail body. Release - Thunderbird 0.3.

In Thunderbird 0.5 (20040207) a multipart/mixed MIME message with a single part text/plain part does not display (no attachments are shown when the mail is opened), unless "View | Display Attachments Inline" is selected. Example follows: ------------------------------------- From ..snip.. Return-Path: ..snip.. Received: ..snip.. Content-Transfer-Encoding: binary Content-Type: multipart/mixed; boundary="_----------=_1078164153287260" MIME-Version: 1.0 X-Mailer: MIME::Lite 2.117 (F2.6; B2.12; Q2.03) Date: Mon, 1 Mar 2004 18:02:33 UT Subject: attachment will not display To: fred@allen-sauer.com From: fred@allen-sauer.com Message-Id: <20040301180236.AE91278098@zephyr02> Status: RO X-Status: X-Keywords: NonJunk X-UID: 51 This is a multi-part message in MIME format. --_----------=_1078164153287260 Content-Disposition: inline; filename="20040227-201420-mp-clickfreegifts.txt" Content-Transfer-Encoding: 7bit Content-Type: text/plain; name="20040227-201420-mp-clickfreegifts.txt" this is the text of the attachment which will not display unless "View | Display Attachments Inline" is specified --_----------=_1078164153287260--

I wonder if this is related to bug 147265 ?

This happens to me a lot. I can read the text of the message by reading the source. The message is there, it is just not being displayed.

Similar (I think same) bug exist on 0.7.3. It looks like when thunderbird meets (1) A multipart/mixed message (2) One of part is not properly terminated (i.e. without separator, by buggy MTA or as a result of divided message), it just shows blank page.

re: comment #11 Are you sure it is only affecting "malformed" mime/multi-part mixed messages? What terminator is missing in the message? I see this so often, that I am wondering if it isn't more widespread than just broken messages.

With Thunderbird 1.0.1 (Linux), I also see this if "Display Attachments Inline" is not selected. It appears that Thunderbird (at least as of 0.6) is particularly guilty of creating unviewable bodies. See, for example (some headers omitted): ------------------------>8 SNIP 8<------------------------- User-Agent: Mozilla Thunderbird 0.6 (X11/20040519) MIME-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: multipart/mixed; boundary="------------090705000300080701010308" This is a multi-part message in MIME format. --------------090705000300080701010308 Content-Type: text/plain; charset=ISO-8859-1; format=flowed Content-Transfer-Encoding: 7bit Also, please send me status on recruiting today.

Thanks, --kirby

Fred Sauer's problem (comment 8) is bug 182627 / bug 229075. "et-tu-mozilla"'s problem (comment 10) is a malformed message, as discussed at bug 101719. Kirby Files gave no details on the exact issues with the display, so I can't really be sure what's going on there. The two messages presented as examples really aren't comparable. (In reply to comment #0) > Mozilla [bug 149771] also exists in Thurderbird 0.1. > > I am adding this bug because I don't whether this derives from the common > code-base or not. It is from the common code base. Assuming you were correct in identifying your original problem, I'm duping this bug to that. *** This bug has been marked as a duplicate of 149771 ***
