Re: Can't view email forwarded as attachment
A little update. I recently got an email from someone that had the problem mentioned previously. In my webmail interface, I forwarded the email to my work address. From there, I forwarded the attachment back to myself using Outlook. I was able to view the attachment in Seamonkey with no problem. So I decided to compare the two versions of the email to see if I could figure out what was so different between them. In the email that didn't display correctly, it included the following code for all parts of the message: Content-Transfer-Encoding: 7bit In the email that worked, There were two. For ASCII text sections, it had: Content-Transfer-Encoding: quoted-printable For the binary sections of the email it had: Content-Transfer-Encoding: quoted-printable Since the problem appears to be that Seamonkey (and Thunderbird) aren't recognizing the content type, it makes me think that this is somehow to blame. Also, since the problem is recent, it makes me think that something has changed on my computer that interprets the settings in the email. If anyone has a clue as to what that might be or how to repair the problem, feel free to share. ___ support-seamonkey mailing list support-seamonkey@lists.mozilla.org https://lists.mozilla.org/listinfo/support-seamonkey

Nope. I'm having problems from someone sending me email from Thunderbird. ___ support-seamonkey mailing list support-seamonkey@lists.mozilla.org https://lists.mozilla.org/listinfo/support-seamonkey

Just moving the message to a local folder fixed my 'problem'. Tried that. It didn't work. So far, I can only view the offending emails from the web interface, not from SeaMonkey. It's quite annoying because I hadn't been having a problem until about a week ago. Even turning off my firewall (ZoneAlarm Pro v. 8.0.059) and virus protection (Shield Deluxe 2009) didn't change the behavior (they were some of the first things I'd checked). FWIW, I'm also running Windows XP SP3. ___ support-seamonkey mailing list support-seamonkey@lists.mozilla.org https://lists.mozilla.org/listinfo/support-seamonkey
