Is it possible to squish this little bug a little earlier than "After 1."? I
think many people have this problem and there is no other sensible workaroud
ready than to copy the text and pase it as quotation and this breaks the reply
to header in most cases...
Cheers
Nicki
P.S.: Keep up the excellent work!

Is there any work around? I've moved some of my colleagues to Thunderbird from
Outlook, and this is quite an important feature that is lacking. Unfortunately,
they may have to revert back.
Is this supported in Mozilla email?

This is also important for us migrating from WebMail - so we can forward
messages out of those accounts as attachments so you can get the original
message intact. Additionally, bug 226877 would be big help in that.

This type of behavior (specifically moving an attachment into a folder) would be
very useful for users of spamassasin. Every now and again, it incorrectly tags a
message as spam and wraps it as an attachment.
btw unix users can use formail to work around these problems but it's a serious
pain:
1. save the attachment as a file such as foo.eml
2. close thunderbird
3. run:
formail < foo.eml >> (insert path to a local mail folder here)
4. open thunderbird
5. the message should now show up in the local mail folder designated. it can
now be moved around to other folders and treated as a normal message.

This, and 224967, are the two most important issues preventing me from switching
from Outlook Express. I really need to be able to get to the end of a chain of
forwarded messages and just forward or reply to that last message (that started
the chain).

Put Bug 204350 in "Depends on:" because this is Thunderbird bug for Bug 204350.
Also add "message/rfc822" in summary for ease of search.
Depends on: 204350

Move of "attached message" doesn't work. Using IMAP. Moving from INBOX.junk to
INBOX.readed. Please fix it.
THank you.

Any chance that this be resolved soon? The bug has been around for quite some
time. Thanks.

It is important that one can reply to an individual embedded (attached)
messages, using their Subject line and Message-Id for the In-Reply-To header,
because many mailing lists send their digest messages as "Content-Type:
multipart/digest" with each included message as a body-part of "Content-Type:
message/rfc822".
A reply to such an embedded message should refer to that message, not to the
digest to keep threads on a mailing list together.
I have tested several eMail-clients this afternoon and found that PMMail, The
Bat!, Outlook and Outlook Express work correctly, and KMail (Linux/KSE) should
be able to do it, too, in the current version (starting with KDE 3.2).
I hope this gets resolved in the next release!

Is this possible to fix in the 1.1 timeframe? Do the product/component owners
agree that this is a major issue for users wanting to move to Thunderbird from
Outlook Express? Thanks.

save as also doesn't work, as reported by stephend. I'll look a little harder at
how hard this will be to fix.

Please plan the resolution of this bug a little more precisely.
Recent versions of spamassassin have made the problem really hard.

I'm working on this, and have reply and forward as attachment working for local
and imap messages; I'm still working on forward inline.

The Reply & Forward functions are now working in the trunk (1.6a1) as of today's nightly build, thanks to the patch at bug 204350. This won't be part of TB 1.5.
Copy is still to be implemented, as is Save As. Also some of the View menu options don't work (Message Source [disabled], Display Attachments Inline, Headers)
The Move capability is actually not sensible.
Summary: replying to/forwarding/moving/copying/save as an attached mail(message/rfc822 part) won't work → Reply/Forward/Copy To/Save As with an attached mail(message/rfc822 part) won't work

Duping this to 204350, which is now a Core bug -- all the fixes that have gone in there have worked for Seamonkey and TB.

Clicking on the attached forwarded email opens it as a normal email in a new window. This is good. The reply button is enabled but does nothing. A fix would be to disable the reply button. However, I need the feature of treating this email as normal and for all functions (especially reply) to work. Its a real problem for me as I have just moved from Pegasus which used to do it.
Please move teh fix to an earlier release.

That's not going to happen. TB 2.0 will be released in a couple months; if you like, you can use a pre-release build of that -- I've been using these for a while and they've been exceptionally stable.
