Bug with attachments fixed before I could report it!

Post by RDaneel »

Thanks! :)

I had just noticed with the 2nd 64-bit Build By Bill(tm) from the 11th that I could no longer "pull apart" attachments from an email... not sure if that describes it properly.

In the little "mini-menu" line under the main icon-based menu, there is a little folder icon at the right end that I can click to show all of the attachments in a drop-down, plus the rest of the headers are then also displayed.

A possibly confusing thing is that I have a vague memory that, like, more than 10 years ago, someone showed me a little bit of userChrome.css to add to get this behavior - not sure at this point.

In any case, I [responsibly] checked Bill's build from the 12th, and all is "normal" again.

I wanted to mention this - even though the issue appears to be resolved - in case the problem and its fix sound surprising to our intrepid devs (we wouldn't want it to happen again by accident). ;)

Cool - and thanks, of course. :)

Interestingly, looking at the referenced bug(s) brings up a clearly (well, probably) related issue: since sometime around April, email coming from a friend's Gmail account has switched to using their "display name", and ignores my address book's display name [and] setting to "Always prefer display name over message header".

Not particularly important, but...

So, with the Build From Bill(tm) based on

... all of the attachment and "display headers" is [still or again] looking good - sweet. :)

Not sure if we were going for the ignoring the "prefer display name over message header" issue too, but it is still the same - the Display name in my address book is NOT being used, and instead email display is just using whatever the message header supplied for the From field.

And again, this isn't important in the big picture. ;)

Unrelated issue and needs a bug filed. If it worked before suspect some of the refactorings broke it.
