RE: Win 32 seamonkey march 24 build, mar240836 Hardware: win_nt 4.0 on HPX86, family 6, 233 MHZ, 32 MB Actual result: Viewing a mail message with a attached gif file causes browser to crash Step: 1. Run apprunner.exe 2. From Task menu, select Messenger 3. From the Inbox folder, click on a mail message that contains a gif file. It immediately crashes. Expected result: Browser should not crash even if this feature has not been implemented.

We aren't supporting attachments yet........nor any time of inlined link in mail messages.... Eventually this will fall into Rich's bucket when we add this feature so I'm going to assign it to him =).

This M4 document http://warp/client/seamonkey/project-mgmt/50m4plan.html shows that M4 will support reading attachments in messages. Is this not true?

My bad your right. Rich checked attachment stuff in last night. It looks like it is working on my machine. I'm viewing an email message that had gifs attached to it and they are appearing inline in my message. Rich, let's mark this as fixed and get it off the M4 stopper list. QA: You won't be able to verify this bug until Rick Gessner checks in his fix to Bug #4585 because that causes a crash when trying to display messages.....

Since Phil is not here to triage bugs, I'm setting this bug from blank target milestone to M4. Rich, pls mark as fixed if appropriate.

This should now work. When we can get a solution for the threading issue with prefs, you will be able to tweak the pref to show attachments inline or as links and then if you click on a link, you will get a new browser window with the contents of the attachment. - rhp

pmock or fenella, can you Verify with latest build? Look good? ;-)

Now that the problem with Slip is under control, Peter will work on this Friday. (Thanks in advance, Peter!)

I can not verify this bug with the April 8 build. I tried it under NT 4.0 SP4 and Win98. I have tried viewing simple messages plain text message with a single gif or jpeg image. In each case, when I view the message I receive an XML error, "XML parsing error: not well-formed Line Line Number, Column 26:" The application does NOT crash. Note: I receive the same error if I tried sending a simple HTML message with an inline or attached gif/jpeg. I'm waiting for today 4/9 seamonkey build to test again.

Update. I have not been able to verify this bug. According to Rhp, the fix is in the April 9 optimized release. I can not install it. When I run the new Install.exe program, I receive an installation error and it quits. The error reads, "! Could not load sdinst.dll". I have tried it under Win98 and NT 4.0SP4 Other people in QA have run into this same install problem.

I was able to view a file with an attached .gif file using 04-09-16 build (I installed by unzipping, did not use installer). Will let Peter confirm verification, since the recent builds have seen people having varied results sometimes.

Oh, the previous comments related to use of m4 build on NT 4.0.

Verified on Win32 1999-04-09-16 build. I tested on Win98 and NT 4.0SP4 I verified that gif and jpeg display inline. I viewed simple messages that had graphic image inserted and attached as file attachment. Note: I did not use the install.exe program. I manually uncompressed the zip file. I have not been able to verify on Linux. I'm having trouble getting messages to appear in the 3 pane window. (It takes so long to get the correct configuration - I spent 3 hours on this so far trying to get messages to display on linux. Very frustrating) I been using the 1999-04-09-15 build.

RE: Seamonkey on Linux 2.0 build (1999-04-09-05) Viewing a mail message with a attached gif file does not crash any more. Since I reported this bug. So I'll verify. You don't mind it, right? Peter.

No I don't mind Fenella. Thank you for the help.
