Public bug reported:
Binary package hint: thunderbird
scenario. open thunderbird and a message (new or old, doesnt matter)
with a big attachment, lets say a .jpg that is 2Mb. and for the sake of
argument lets also say it is the first new message of your day. So
TBird automatically focuses on the first message, and you can watch the
progress bar as it loads the message....
some time later, the load is done. hey, the image has a funny
resolution in this view, so i double-click on the message and pop up a
message window. AND THEN THE MESSAGE WINDOW DOWNLOADS THE oh-so-fargin-
lovely 2Mb AGAIN.
no, this is not all. No, TBird can be made to DL that sucker in all
sorts of odd ways.
It is very annoying and seems so unnecessary. Are mail messages ever
actually volatile? And even if they were, for what fraction of hte
people would they be like that?
this is probably not a "bug" per se; but my bet is a lot of people would
like to download that 2Mb just once.
b.t.w., in this scenario I have an IMAP-SSL connection to my server.
