Description of problem: When trying to save an attachment of a message saved on an imap server, it saves a new message instead with body text "This body part will be downloaded on demand." and the attachment attached. Moving the message to a local folder first allows to work around the problem. Setting mail.imap_mime_parts_on_demand doesn't help: when this is set, it saves the entire message instead of attachment. Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): 10.0.1 (why is this not copy-pastable?) How reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1. Send a message with an attachment to self (even a small attachment, such as /etc/issue will do) 2. Open message 3. Right-Click on attachment, Save-As. Actual results: It saves a message containing body text "This body part will be downloaded on demand." with requested attachment attached. The file has the name and extension of the attachment. Expected results: It should just save the attachment. Additional info:
I can't reproduce your problem with thunderbird-11.0. Try to install this update: https://admin.fedoraproject.org/updates/thunderbird-11.0.1-1.fc15?_csrf_token=3fcf2a55fa02e3d024e94a213879f8316b81c5a4 Are there any records in Tools/Saved Files window? Could you attach affected message by File/Save As/File, please?
Indeed, with Thunderbird 11.0 (as included in Fedora 16), the problem no longer occurs. However, Fedora 15 (which is still supposed to be supported?) currently contains 10.0.1, which is still affected. An incremental yum update on Fedora 15 doesn't pull in 11.0.1, I had to do a distro-sync to 16 to pull it in.
Oops sorry. The problem still _does_ occur in 11.0, but only if I save the attachment rather than opening it with an application. Opening with an application did not work in 10.0 as far as I remember. I attach a message.eml of a message which had the problem. However, when I re-open this message usings File->Open->SavedMessage, the problem no longer occurs. The problem only occurs when browsing the message directly in the imap folder. Our imap server is dovecot 1:1.2.12-1ubuntu8, btw (in case it matters).
Created attachment 573713 [details] message with an attachment message with an attachment. Cannot save attachment when browsing this directly from a dovecot imap server.
I see. If you use Ctrl-U to view source of message do you actually see content of attached file or "This body part will be downloaded on demand." text instead of message?
When I do "view source", I do see the content of the attached file. I looks the same as if viewing the .eml (except for spacing)
This message is a notice that Fedora 15 is now at end of life. Fedora has stopped maintaining and issuing updates for Fedora 15. It is Fedora's policy to close all bug reports from releases that are no longer maintained. At this time, all open bugs with a Fedora 'version' of '15' have been closed as WONTFIX. (Please note: Our normal process is to give advanced warning of this occurring, but we forgot to do that. A thousand apologies.) Package Maintainer: If you wish for this bug to remain open because you plan to fix it in a currently maintained version, feel free to reopen this bug and simply change the 'version' to a later Fedora version. Bug Reporter: Thank you for reporting this issue and we are sorry that we were unable to fix it before Fedora 15 reached end of life. If you would still like to see this bug fixed and are able to reproduce it against a later version of Fedora, you are encouraged to click on "Clone This Bug" (top right of this page) and open it against that version of Fedora. Although we aim to fix as many bugs as possible during every release's lifetime, sometimes those efforts are overtaken by events. Often a more recent Fedora release includes newer upstream software that fixes bugs or makes them obsolete. The process we are following is described here: http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/BugZappers/HouseKeeping
