From Bugzilla Helper: User-Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (X11; U; Linux i686; rv:1.7.3) Gecko/20041020 Firefox/0.10.1 Description of problem: When I click on an email, I see the headers but no content if the email is a plain text email. Just the standard grey background. If the email is in HTML form (like spam) I see the contents fine. I just did a plain install of FC3 on my machine. I first did rm -r /usr rm -r /etc To clean out all the old crap I've been accumulating. I kept /home After the install I created a user with the same username as mu old account. I started evolution and it migrated my FC1 evolution to evo2. I keep most of my email on an IMAP server I made a screenshot so you can see the bug in all it's glory. Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): evolutin How reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1. click on an email 2. 3. Actual Results: No content displayed Expected Results: Content of the email displayed Additional info:
I fixed this by deleting all the MIME types I had defined in my evo-1.4 configuration. Unfortunately I can no longer uses any bonobo components to read any documents or attahments inline. I used to use AbiWord to read MS Word and RTF docs, ggv to read post script and pdf's and eof to view images. It would be nice to get this functionality back.
BTW, we had a bug a while back in gnome-vfs2 where the Abiword component was overzealously being used to view all mime types of the form "text/*", which obviously broke things (even calendar files, see e.g. bug #131359) What exactly did you mean in comment #1 by "deleting all the MIME types"? It sounds like reading plain text emails is working for you now, but a migration that keeps /home _ought_ to work, so it would be good to figure out what went wrong here.
Closing per lack of response to previous request for information. This bug was originally filed against a much earlier version of Fedora Core, and significant changes have taken place since the last version for which this bug is confirmed. Note that FC3 and FC4 are supported by Fedora Legacy for security fixes only. Please install a still supported version and retest. If it still occurs on FC5 or FC6, please reopen and assign to the correct version. Otherwise, if this a security issue, please change the product to Fedora Legacy. Thanks, and we are sorry that we did not get to this bug earlier.
