Compose a new mail and attach a file to the mail. Now send it to yourself. Now take the newly arrived mail and it as "forward as attachment" to yourself. The new mail now only have "forward.msg" as attachment and it's impossible to see that the origional mail had an attachemnt. Attached is a image of both the 4.7 and Mozilla mail

Using build 2000011008. This was actually what I was trying to say with bug: http://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=23112

Ah, it was your use of "forward inline" in bug 23112 which threw me off track. That's the name of a feature which is the opposite (?) of forward as attachment. I agree that we need to provide access to attachments in forwarded messages. I thought RichP would already have a bug on that, but I don't see one, so reassigning this one to him.

Will look into this one. - rhp

Ok, I have this fixed in my tree. Now you should get a nice menu entry in the pulldown for the attachments in sub-messages. I'll check this in when the tree opens for M14. If anyone wants to try this out, I'll post the patch. Apply the patch from the same level as your mozilla directory. - rhp

Just checked in the fix for this problem. - rhp

Please see the attached mail which doesn't give me option to save the "test.txt" attached file.

Are you using a new build? This works fine for me. - rhp

I'm using todays build! Did you test with the attached mail?

Yes. Worked fine. - rhp

Ups... I attached the wrong mail. The mail I attached works. But the new mail that I just attached DOESN*t give me the option to save the attachmend in the forwarded mail. The attachment "test.txt" should appear in the dropdown, but it doesn't... Actullay you can just take the last attachment and forward it to yourself.

Ok, I think I have this one now....will fix when tree opens. - rhp

Should be fixed. - rhp
