repro steps: (1) create an email with any MS word attachment from your AOL mail account using your AOL client. (2) forward the mail to your account in AOL. (3) forward the forwarded mail with attachment to your NS6.x/mozilla ( build 5/30) email address . (4) when opening the attachment, the content is not readable. Please test with other kinds of attachment, such as EXCEL, or powerpoint, etc. Thx. My situation: (1) I received an email with attchment in my AOL mail box. (2) Since I want to read the mail in my NS account, I forwarded it to my NS account. (3) When I open it up in NS 6.1 ( 5/30 build), the content is not readable.

Confirming bug and adding regression keyword. This works in 6.01 and Netscape 4.x. All attachments are affected by this (tried word doc and pdf). With images, images are viewable if sent as an HTML file, but actual picture listed in attachment window is not viewable. All you see is a Part 1.2 file, not the attachment (this is for all cases). Simpler test case: 1. Using the latest mozilla/commercial builds, compose a message with an attachment (preferably a word or PDF) and send it to your AOL account (if you have one). 2. Using AOL Web-mail or the AOL Client, Log in and view the message just sent...confirm that attachment was sent successfully and forward that letter back to your account configured on mozilla/commercial build. 3. View letter just sent from AOL account, attachment is no longer viewable. Internally this could be a big problem for those of us interacting with people using there AOL account as there main work account and forwarding information with attachments. Changing OS to all since Linux and Mac are affected as well.

This bug exists in NS 6.1, 5/31 build as well. Externally this is a big problem for information exchange by attachment between AOL mail users and NS mail users.

*** Bug 85597 has been marked as a duplicate of this bug. ***

moving to 0.9.2. One of the dups, 85597 has a test message that exhibits this behavior. I don't think it's important that it's coming from AOL because I can reproduce this without involving AOL. 1. Create a Word document 2. Attach it to an email and send it to yourself 3. Forward that message as an attachment to yourself. 4. Display the forwarded message and you will find no way to access the original Word document.

This has nothing to do with AOL accounts. I have mail from Eudora and Outlook that i can reproduce this on. Ah I see Scott just made the same observation. The problem is that libmime doesn't show the attachments for forwarded inlined messages. I fixed this last night as part of another bug. I'll attach the diff here.

looks good and it's working fine. R=ducarroz

My original patch had some problems. I caused us to start showing all the inlined messages as external attachments. So you'd see bogus attachments called: Part 1.2.1 and Part 1.2.2. This new patch expands on the original and filters out JUST the external attachment parts and skips listing the inline parts. The top most inline message still correctly shows up as a .eml attachment so that behavior is unchanged.

I thought I have tested th eprevious part against those anoying part n.n with success. Looks like not! Anyway, R=ducarroz for the secons patch.

a= asa@mozilla.org for checkin to the trunk. (on behalf of drivers)

fix checked in.

Using trunk builds 2001-06-13 on win, mac and linux. I sent a .doc file to myself and then forwarded it again to myself and was able to open the .doc attachment from both the original msg and the forwarded messsage on Win & mac. I sent a linux calendar file to myself and forwarded that msg to myself and was able to open the linux calendar with the original and forwarded msg. I sent a .xls to win and mac with same results. Verified.
