If you fx send http://www.travel-marked.dk/ and read it in Mozilla you'll get the horizontal line showing that there are attachment but nothing is shown. The problem is that the webpage that you're sending contains frames. Build 2000011210 The MIME info looks like this: --------------5E2CBF7554F7EABA8B4BF02B Content-Type: text/html; charset=iso-8859-1; name="1_Travel Market - Rejser =?iso-8859-1?Q?p=E5?= Internet.htm" Content-Transfer-Encoding: quoted-printable Content-Disposition: inline; filename="1_Travel Market - Rejser =?iso-8859-1?Q?p=E5?= Internet.htm" <BASE HREF=3D"http://www.travel-marked.dk/"> <HTML> <HEAD> <TITLE>Travel Market - Rejser p=E5 Internet</TITLE> </HEAD> <FRAMESET ROWS=3D"35,86%" border=3D"0" framespacing=3D"0" frameborder=3D"= 0" hspace=3D"0" vspace=3D"0" MARGINWIDTH=3D"0" leftmargin=3D"0" SCROLLING= =3D"NO" NORESIZE> <FRAMESET COLS=3D"33%,37%,30%" border=3D"0" framespacing=3D"0" framebor= der=3D"0" hspace=3D"0" vspace=3D"0" MARGINWIDTH=3D"0" leftmargin=3D"0" SC= ROLLING=3D"NO" NORESIZE> <FRAME SRC=3D"/frames/7topv.html" NAME=3D"topv" border=3D"0" framespa= cing=3D"0" frameborder=3D"0" hspace=3D"0" vspace=3D"0" MARGINWIDTH=3D"0" = leftmargin=3D"0" SCROLLING=3D"NO" NORESIZE> <FRAME SRC=3D"/frames/7top.html" NAME=3D"top" border=3D"0" framespaci= ng=3D"0" frameborder=3D"0" hspace=3D"0" vspace=3D"0" MARGINWIDTH=3D"0" le= ftmargin=3D"0" SCROLLING=3D"NO" NORESIZE> <FRAME SRC=3D"/frames/7toph.html" NAME=3D"toph" border=3D"0" framespa= cing=3D"0" frameborder=3D"0" hspace=3D"0" vspace=3D"0" MARGINWIDTH=3D"0" = leftmargin=3D"0" SCROLLING=3D"NO" NORESIZE> </FRAMESET> much more HTML here....

Yes, this has been this way for a long time (i.e. 4.x, 3.x...) and would take considerable work to change. Probably wont happen for the first release of Seamonkey. - rhp

*** Bug 102444 has been marked as a duplicate of this bug. ***
Does anyone care that this is a NN4 compatibility issue? In bug 102444, which has just been duped against this one, the fremeset shows up as an attachment in NN4 and Mozilla. If you open the attachment in NN4, the frameset is renedered as HTML in a browser window. In Mozilla, you get the entire email as source when opening the frameset attachment. Clearly NN4 is the preferred behavior.

This is true with Build 20030209 running Mac OS X - just showed up. Not a problem with prior builds of the last few days.
Note that iframes do show up in messages.

Dossy, does this reproduce for you?

Wayne, I honestly don't even know how to "email this web page" inline as an attachment to someone using modern Chrome and TB, aside from saving the page as HTML and then attaching that HTML to the message ...

I did that with a simple test page, and TB doesn't try to render the HTML in the reader pane? Chrome won't even parse <frameset> and <frame> nodes into the DOM any more, even with a DOCTYPE of HTML 4.01 Frameset.

I'd say this more than a "wontfix" bug at this point, but a "cantfix" ...

Attaching my test .html file in case someone else wants to take a shot at this ...

Also, as plenty of sites now emit X-Frame-Options: deny - even if we tried to render the frameset document, we may be instructed to refuse to do it by the server, anyway.
