If you have enough attachments (and/or with long enough names), the attachment window can grow to the point where it is impossible to see the text window Reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1. Send yourself with many attachments with long names (e.g. 30-40 mailing list messages) 2. view the message 3. If necesssary, shrink the window until the message body box disappears. 4. Attempt to view body text without expanding the window Actual Results: Cannot view message body box Expected Results: resizable attachment window W/ scrollbar 3-pane message view (like with the old mozilla reader) would be nice (as an option?) -- as mentioned by bug 251811 A sample email can be found at: http://www.bcgreen.com/reports/many-attach.eml How you import it into your email program is your problem. Appending it to (or using it as) an mbox file should work. This isn't quite a data LOSS issue, but it can make critical data unavailable from the GUI (you would have to do something like view the raw source, which could be difficult for HTML format messages).
