Interviewed by CNN on 17/04/2011 00:04, MCBastos told the world:
I have been away for a while, now I'm back with a weird problem...
Suddenly, my Seamonkey (2.0.13) stopped displaying the images linked
from the entry summaries in Atom feeds. Even from old messages. I think
it's affecting RSS feeds too, but other than the Blogger ones (which are
all Atom), I don't recall which feeds are RSS and which ones are Atom.
I tried a lot of things.
I tried turning off, then back on, "View/Display Attachments Inline." No
dice.
I tried fiddling with "View/Feed Message Body As".
The upper part seems to be locked in "Original HTML" -- I attempted
changing it to "Simple HTML" or "Plain Text", and not only the message
stays the same, but the menu option stays selected as "Original HTML."
The lower part is selected as "Summary", which is where it was before. I
tried changing it to "Web Page," and it works -- after a fashion: it
loads the full web page instead of the summary. But what I want, what
worked before, is the summary -- the full page is much slower to load,
and sometimes is filled with troublesome scripts.
I tried fiddling with the character encoding. That's the only thing that
gave me some slim results: when I change the "View/Character
Encoding/Auto-detect" setting -- no matter from which value to which --
the message is reloaded and the linked images displayed. But not
perfectly: when I do this, the header is displayed in the body of the
message, in a badly formatted way. Worse, this trick only affects the
message currently being displayed: go to another message, and the
problem is back. Go back to the "fixed" message, and it's back there, too.
I tried reinstalling Seamonkey over itself to check if it was some
corrupted program file. No dice.
I really don't know that to attempt next, other than starting from
scratch with a new profile. And, while I know how to do that and have
done so in the past (I have been using Seamonkey's predecessors all the
way back to Netscape 2, at least), I really would like to avoid the
considerable work that would be involved in setting all my stuff back.
Any ideas?
Clarification: while Seamonkey seems to process the feed summary
correctly as HTML, it does not load the pictures linked from it. I have
no idea what could be causing this.
