Message body blank

Post by jaimez »

Hi all,
I've found an issue in Thunderbird. In certain email messages - sent from icloud.com, containing image embedded in email body (Content-Disposition: inline) - message body is blank. I only see the header and attachments that have "Content-Disposition: attachment". So, it looks like sender sent only attachment without text. Text could be viewed only by looking to the source code of message. And that's very bad option for inexperienced users within our organization.

Code: Select all

However, if I save message as EML file and I delete one semicolon from line:

Code: Select all

	type="multipart/alternative";;
Thunderbird renders whole message correctly.

I know that's mainly icloud's fault, but other email clients like Outlook or Windows Mail renders the same message without any trouble.

Any ideas how to fix this ? Thank you in advance.

Have you tried switching display formats by using menu path View->Message body as->Simple HTML or Plain Text?

Yes, I have already tried all options in View->Message body as. Also, I have tried to switch off View->Show attachments in message (not sure if this is correct translation from my native language)
