User-Agent: Mozilla/4.0 (compatible; MSIE 6.0; Windows NT 5.1) Build Identifier: Mozilla Thunderbird 0.5 (20040207) (French language pack) when I transfer an email in thunderbird containing text and html (originating from a Mac using Mail)the text in the body automatically becomes an attatchement Reproducible: Sometimes Steps to Reproduce: 1.open an email from a source that will provoke the same problem 2.press transfer 3. Actual Results: the text in the body of the message became an attatchement. When the message is saved and previewed the text is returned to the body. when the message is saved and opened the text becomes an attatchement Expected Results: the text in the body of the email should have remained in the body of the email I don't know much about programming; maybe this will help 1)in my options I request the text of transfered emails to be kept in the body 2)(from originating message source code): Mime-Version: 1.0 (Apple Message framework v613) Content-Type: multipart/alternative; boundary=Apple-Mail-3-987853387 X-Mailer: Apple Mail (2.613) -Apple-Mail-3-987853387 Content-Transfer-Encoding: quoted-printable Content-Type: text/plain; charset=WINDOWS-1252; format=flowed 3)when I save the message after transfer but before sending,if I preview the email the text is in the body and in an attachement 4)when I open the saved email, the text is only in the attatechment 5) the attatchement source is listed as C:\Documents and Settings\NAME\Local Settings\Temp

Reporter (melodie): Please attach to this bug a sample message that exhibits the problem (save it as a .EML file and use the Create New Attachment link above).

ATTN: I am now on: Thunderbird version 0.7.3 (20040803) but still the same problem. ATTN: To save the message I did: select message, transfer message, save message. When I go to save it, I only have 2 options - html or all file types. Once I have saved it as .EML, I see nothing in the message when I repoen it (opens automatically with OE6) - no title, no content. I cannot force thunderbird to open it. Or would you prefer that I save the message as I received it (and not as I would send it, after having pressed the "transfer" button?)

> When I go to save it, I only have 2 options - html or all file types. When the Save dialog opens, you should have four options under File Type: html, plain, .eml or "All". The file you attached is an HTML file, not an email message file. But: I'm not sure what you mean by "transfer" -- I presumed you mean the "Send" button, but on re-reading, I think you mean the "Forward" button (by default, there are three buttons in a row: Reply, Reply to All, Forward). There are two modes to Forward: "Inline" and "As attachment". The default mode is specified in Tools | Options | Composition, right at the top of the page. It sounds like you have "As attachment" selected but want "Inline." If this is correct, please mark this bug: Resolved|Invalid Note, also, that if you have your preference set to "Inline" but you have a particular message that you want to forward "as attachment", you can do that via the menus: Message | Forward > [Inline | As Attachment]

Received from Melodie in email: =============================== I do mean "forward" and not "send". [...] All other emails (except those for which I posted the bug, ie that were originally sent to me from a Mac using the software called "mail") forward the message correctly ie the message is "Inline" and not an "Attachment". ===============================

This multipart/alternative message consists of two parts: --Apple-Mail-7--330846815 Content-Transfer-Encoding: quoted-printable Content-Type: text/plain; charset=ISO-8859-1; format=flowed --Apple-Mail-7--330846815 Content-Transfer-Encoding: quoted-printable Content-Type: text/enriched; charset=ISO-8859-1 TB displays the text/enriched part. When forwarding, that is the part that gets used for the message body; however, since Moz/TB doesn't know how to *edit* text/enriched, the part is treated as just an attachment to the mail. The forwarded mail will contain the information, and it will be seen if the attachment is displayed inline in the recipient's client. Workaround: before forwarding the message, use View | Message Body As | Plain Text Then the forward will use the text/plain part as the message body, which can be edited and so will be shown in the body of the new message.
