Description El Goretto 2005-12-15 05:06:46 UTC
I recieved a mail with 2 files that are supposed to be attached to it.
Thunderbird correctly shows the mail in the messages list panel with the
"attachments" icon, but the message body panel itself shows no attachment.
This problem seems specific to this mail, maybe a formatting issue, so it may
not be a pure "bug".
Here is the source of the mail (I changed some pieces of the attached data fields):

Comment 1 Stuart Longland (RETIRED) gentoo-dev 2006-07-30 07:02:49 UTC
This looks like a malformed email.  Notice around the Content-type headers, there's spaces between the equals argument...

> Content-Type: application/octet-stream; name = "UT2004_Server_CD_Key.reg"
                                              ^ ^ <-- here

On an email I have here... notice how the attachment is formatted:
> ------=_NextPart_001_001C_01C6B028.7BE7FF60
> Content-Type: image/gif;
> 	name="clip_image001.gif"

Ignoring the fact that the name argument appears on a different line, it also lacks the spaces around this = sign.

You might want to mention this to EpicGames (who appear to have sent you this email).

In the meantime, have you tried reproducing this in later versions of Thunderbird (e.g. 1.5.0.5)?  This may be an issue that has to be taken upstream.

Thx for your reply.

Ok, in fact that's not a crucial problem... I was more interested on contributing to help on thunderbird than to learn to Epic how to send mails...

I have the same problem on 1.5.0.4. When I first looked on the mail (was archived in another folder) after your reply, the icon "attached file" on the mail list panel was on for this mail but no attached file was still found when clicking on it. Now, the icon isn't on anymore, I don't know why.

I reproduced it: the icon was on in the list panel, I clicked on the mail to select it, *shazam*, the icon disappeared :)
