2-Is there some pref setting available to make multipart messages with
non-empty first parts display the first part instead of displaying nothing,
without changing the "view message body as" selection?
I really really really don't like either having to go into the view message
body as menu, or view messages other than in plain text only mode. Most HTML
email is nothing but web pages distributed by SMTP instead of HTTP, almost
universally in mousetype, often littered with worthless images.
This almost sounds to me like some setting in config editor was messed
with because I don't see this issue on SM or TB. What version of SM?
What OS?
2.39 on Linux.
If you go to about:config, there ought to be a lot of "user
set" items under mail.* or mailnews.*.
You could always try with a clean profile or try grabbing Portable
Thunderbird from
http://portableapps.com/apps/internet/thunderbird_portable, configure
it and see if messages display properly. If portable TV display
properly, you may have some profile corruption in SM or you've
tinkered with an about:config pref in some way as to gum things up.
First I restarted without any chrome/userContent.css in profile, which helped
not.
Second, I tried safe mode, which also helped not.
Third, I shut it down and restarted only the browser, then went through
about:config filtering on string "mail", and toggled all non-default booleans
that neither were about identities nor servers and on toggle unbolded. Then I
opened mail to find problem solved. Then I shutdown, restored prefs.js,
restarted, and problem remains solved.
Wierd. No way to tell what the problem was.
Maybe because the profile is ancient, some old or obsolete cache element got
cleaned with all those boolean toggles, and stayed clean after restore?
No idea why restoring prefs.js with SM closed that multiple pref(?) behaviors
would change on restart, but annoying regressions have manifested that so far
I've been unable to figure out how to undo:
1-">" quote characters don't show up in message display (but do when
composing a reply)
2-Messages that filtering is marking junk and moving to trash are not being
marked as read
3-During plain text compose, wrapping automatically is occurring instead of
on send, very annoying
