Messages without attachments are imported fine, but for every message with an attachment, if I preview the message in the preview pane in Thunderbird or open the message by double clicking on it, the message text does not show up -- instead, it appears as an additional attachment (typically called "Part 1.1"). However if I select "Edit as new" then in the compose window the text _does_ show up properly. Here's a copy of a message which exhibits this problem; this is taken from the original Eudora mbx file. Actual addresses have been removed. === Cut === From ???@???

Create a .mbx file containing the message shown in the Detail section (the one taken from the Eudora .mbx file). 2. Import that mailbox from Thunderbird. 3. Try to open the message. Actual Results: Thunderbird displays (both in preview pane and in the actual message window) a blank message with no text and three, instead of two attachments. The 'additional' attachment is called "Part 1.1" and seems to contain the message text. Selecting "Edit as new" shows the message properly (text shows up as such and there are two attachments only) Expected Results: Thunderbird should display the message text as such, instead of adding it as an additional attachment. Not sure whether this is a Thunderbird-specific bug or a general Mozilla Mail issue, but I'm seeing other import issues being filed under the Thunderbird component, so here it goes.

I can reproduce this bug reliably too, importing several thousand messages (maybe it's a mass problem?) In my case it's Eudora 6.1, but since the mailbox format used by Eudora did not change lately, this information is probably irrelevant.

Thanks for your report! I don't really know if MailNews has the same problem. I only tested Thunderbird. I just was not sure what 'component' to file this under..
