In the attached mail message, View | Source is cut off at the first 8-bit character (the ö in "Gödel"). The message itself displays "ö" instead of "ö"). Linux build 2000.03.03.09

Reassign to rhp

I should also say that this happens regardless of whether the message is on an IMAP server or in a local folder.

Hi Zach, Hmm...this is weird... Again, I tested with my Linux build from this morning and view source works fine on messages with 8bit data. Lisa: Maybe someone in QA can verify for me. - rhp

Did you try my attachment?

I wiped my .mozilla directory clean, installed 3000.03.03.12 (from today at noon) and I still get the same problems. esther, could you try this on your Linux machine?

I'm seeing the following (Linux build from 2000-02-29): Richard Zach's test msg, both subject and body, all display mostly fine in Mailnews. Only the title of the top-level window shows the subject as quoted-printable. Page Source shows the subject as Quoted-Printable and stops at the first umlaut in the body. Similar results for Zach's post to .mailnews and my own test msg. Viewing the test msg in the browser by opening the attachment link in bugzilla /in a new window/, the subject is OK, but the body shows the reported problems. Page Source stops at the first umlaut in the subject. Clicking directly on the attachment link (i.e. opening in the same window) in the browser, the msg opens in Mailnews' msg pane like an attachment (i.e. headers show up in the window for the body) and stops at the first umlaut in the subject. Page source in Mailnews results in a "Software error" from bugzilla. Paeg Source in the browser window (which still shows the bug) shows the msg source and stops at the first umlaut. Now, if that is no bug... :-) REOPENing and changing COMPONENT to I18N. I found another problem with "Page Source" during testing; filed bug #30459.

The last problem is bug 30355.

There are 3-4 bugs mentioned in this report. It would be best to keep this bug as the View | Source problem. 1. Zach's "The message itself displays "ö" instead of "ö")" bug was Bug 30299 whose fix was checked in this afternoon. The problem should be gone tomorrow. 2. Ben's window tiltle showing up as un-decoded MIME string in QP is Bug 29651, for which we lobbied for Beta 1 but does not seem to be making it. Back to the original View | Source bug, I tried zach's 2nd test msg on 3/4/00 Win32 build and could not display any 8-bit characters in the body.

Are you guys running on Win32? I crash deep in layout any time I try this on Win32. - rhp

rhp, I am running and Zach also does IIRC. Momoi seems so work on WinNT (he usually sends mail from there). Notice, that I'm using an old build (see above).

s/running/running Linux

I noticed the menu "View | Source" becoming functional in Messenger with 2/29 Win32 build. Since then there have been 5 more daily builds. On these published builds, I have not been able to view raw Latin 1 8-bit body text with the Mail "View | Page Source" menu. So, I don't believe the menu ever worked with 8-bit body.

Hi Rick, Sorry to keep doing this but this is another issues that is downstream from where I handle the data. This all centers around how layout is treating the raw RFC822 message that I am writing from libmime. Worst case, it should just be 8 bit ASCII, but it seems to be interpreting it as something else. - rhp

We are treating this as plain text now so it should be fixed. - rhp

Sorry for the delay in testing this, I tested this on my linux system using build 2000-06-02 and I copied the paragraph out of Zach's message that containded the 8bit character. I pasted the text in a plain text message and mailed it to my test account and viewed the source. It was not cut off after this character and the character is displayed correctly. Verified. Richard, if you are still seeing this problem, please reopen.
