Summary: content-location header in multipart/related message does not work

Attachments: the multipart mail

Description Martin Koller 2009-08-30 00:18:15 UTC 
Version:            (using Devel)
OS:                Linux
Installed from:    Compiled sources

I'll attach a mail, which is a multipart/related one.
It was obviously Produced By Microsoft Exchange V6.5
and can be viewn with M$-outlook express in the way that I only see the image as content.
(The attachment is a modified example but still shows the problem)

In kmail instead of the image I see an empty frame with the "unknown" image in the top left corner.

In thunderbird it's the same.

I assume the bug is in the mail itself, but don't know the details of the mail format.

I tracked down the problem to objecttreeparser.cpp
ObjectTreeParser::defaultHandling()
where the image is saved to a tmp file and passed to
htmlWriter()->embedPart( ...) but as the HTML part of the message does not contain a cid URL, it is never used in
KHtmlPartHtmlWriter::resolveCidUrls()


Now I don't know what to do ...

Created attachment 36567 [details]
the multipart mail

Seems like KMail does not properly deal with the Content-Location header at all, see RFC 2557, especially section 9, the examples.

please fix this

it is very annoying, all the html messages I receive does not display pictures

maybe only kmail to kmail works

see bug 205791 as well
Comment 5 Björn Ruberg 2010-03-05 18:22:33 UTC 
If both bugs refer to the same problem, lets join them
