(This bug imported from BugSplat, Netscape's internal bugsystem. It
was known there as bug #82783
http://scopus.netscape.com/bugsplat/show_bug.cgi?id=82783
Imported into Bugzilla on 04/25/00 16:55)
Using 4.02 dogbert builds for Win 3.1, Win95 and Unix dated after 8-14, the
Title bar doesn't display the name of a mail msg correctly in these cases:
A mail msg that has been signed with no attachments = no name
A mail msg that has been signed with an attachment (view inline) = name of
attachment
A mail msg that has been signed with an attachment (view as link) = no name
A mail msg that has not been signed with a .gif attachment (view inline) = name
of .gif file
For Unix, this causes a problem when bookmarking any of these messages. The
name of the bookmark in the Bookmark list is the location of the mail msg in the
case of no name. Or the name of the .gif in the case of viewing Inline.

Since this only happens with signed messages, I assume this has something to do
with the S/MIME code.

Since this bug doesn't occur on Mac, the platform should not be 'ALL'. Since PC
4.0.2 is done, I'm changing the bug to platform X-TERM, although the fix should
be checked into the trunk for PC 5.0 as well. This bug is still untargeted,
please set the fix version.

Jamie, do you have any idea why this happens? I can see it happening
for me on 3.02 as well, though I never really noticed it before because
I never look at the title bar in my mail or news windows. I'm really
surprised that it happens on Win and Unix but not on Mac; I would have
thought it'd be all the same backend problem. Anyway, I'd like the
mail/news group to own this problem but it seems like that is unlikely.
So I thought I'd see if I'd be able to fix it myself, perhaps with a
pointer from you to get me started.

I just noticed this bug in 4.06 and 4.5. Didn't all 5.0 mail/news bugs get
migrated to tfv 4.5? Was this one overlooked?
I just looked at 4.5 Mac, and the only reason it appears that the Mac is not
affected is because it doesn't use the subject line info in its title bar, as
Win and Unix do. I suggest either making this platform="all" again (since the
4.02 reasoning is now moot), or opening a separate and additional bug on
Windows.

Something interesting about this bug:
If you send yourself a signed message with a web page attached (not just the URL
included in an html message), the Messenger title bar will display the title of
the attached web page.
Also, going back to 4.04, when you click on a regular signed message, you can
see the title bar flash what looks like an IMAP URL really fast before it fails
to display the message subject.
Changing severity from major to normal, since this is just an
optionally-implemented display issue.
------- Additional Comments From repka 05/26/98 14:55 -------
Changing the platform back to All, as Stacey suggested. The problem
is in the backend (libmime) -- it exists, at least in some sense, on
all platforms. (It might even be that if you viewed an S/MIME message
in a browser window -- does that have a real title bar, filled in
by the <TITLE> tag, on the Mac? -- you would then see it on the Mac
as well.)
As for what tfv this bug should have, that confusion lies in the
ownership of this bug. It's one of those limbo bugs, falling
somewhere between security and mail/news. It's really not clear
which of us *should* own it. I'd been thinking that if I could
figure out how to fix it, I'd go ahead and do that. I would,
in fact, prefer to fix it in 4.1, but I'm not sure I'll figure
it out in time to do that.
BTW, I know *why* it's happening, but I don't know what the
fix should be. It happens because the display of each S/MIME
message involves a table created for the headers (in order to
put the "Signed", etc. icons over on the right of the headers).
But when the <TITLE> tag is then output for the Subject line,
our layout code ignores it because it doesn't allow a <TITLE>
to be specified from within a table definition. (And when
libmime parses subsequent stuff, like an attachment, if it
puts out a <TITLE> later, that one will "take", which is why
you see an attachment's Subject in the title.) I think the
fix, then, is to somehow put the <TITLE> out either before
or after the table of headers-and-icon are put out. Probably
after is the only way that will really work. But I'm not sure
that's the right solution, and even so I don't know where to
do it (and how to find the subject text). That's where I am at
the moment; I'm only working on this bug occasionally, in the
background.
(If someone from the mail/news group would be willing to take
this bug and fix it in 4.5, I'd be quite happy to let go of it. ;-)

Probably the best owner for this bug is jefft, so I'll reassign to him. Thanks
for the legwork, Lisa.

Old bug just moved from internal to bugzilla. Reopening so I can

This is *not* an NSS bug. But to prevent it from getting lost forever,
I am making it one and assigning it to Christian. He can close it if he
wants, or play around with it. I don't even know how the mime->html stuff
is done now, if it's different, and thus if this bug would occur in the
new client when S/MIME is added (back) in. It's up to Christian if he wants
to hang onto this for the future. It'd be okay with me if he wanted to close
it out. I guess the real regression test, once S/MIME is working, is whether
viewing email gets the right text in the Title bar, *and* whether bookmarking
works (because apparantly that was the most annoying thing about this bug
in the first place).

This bug report is registered in the SeaMonkey product, but has been without a comment since the inception of the SeaMonkey project. This means that it was logged against the old Mozilla suite and we cannot determine that it's still valid for the current SeaMonkey suite. Because of this, we are setting it to an UNCONFIRMED state.
If you can confirm that this report still applies to current SeaMonkey 2.x nightly builds, please set it back to the NEW state along with a comment on how you reproduced it on what Build ID, or if it's an enhancement request, why it's still worth implementing and in what way.
If you can confirm that the report doesn't apply to current SeaMonkey 2.x nightly builds, please set it to the appropriate RESOLVED state (WORKSFORME, INVALID, WONTFIX, or similar).
If no action happens within the next few months, we move this bug report to an EXPIRED state.
