Hello again,

I recently received an email with four "inline" images in the html portion.  
The first time I looked at it, it displayed the first image correctly, but then just the 
placeholders for the next three.  When I went back to check again, it (and all attempts 
since) displayed the first image in all four places.

That's odd--I don't recall having any problems with multiple inline images.

I also realize that very often, I only get image placeholders and not the 
actual images, when looking at the HTML version of messages.  This is also true 
when I view the message in a browser.

When you select "Open with [Firefox, or whatever]" from the context menu, the 
browser gets the HTML message part, but Balsa has no way to tell it how to get the 
images, so it seems unavoidable that you'll get the placeholder.

My Balsa (2.5.1) is using Webkit-gtk3 (2.4.8) in case that is relevant.

It might be relevant--Balsa's gtk3 branch currently requires webkitgtk4, so I 
can't test with webkitgtk3 very easily. But I believe the cid: protocol 
handling hasn't changed since 2.5.1 was released, so the versions may not be an 
issue.

The four img tags extracted from the middle of the html:
<img src=3D"cid:ii_14c8ba23837614c5" alt=3D"Inline image 1" width=3D"485" 
height=3D"254">
<img src=3D"cid:ii_14c8ba2c596f0c6b" alt=3D"Inline image 2" width=3D"485" 
height=3D"366">
<img src=3D"cid:ii_14c8ba3becda123d" alt=3D"Inline image 3" width=3D"485" 
height=3D"349">
<img src=3D"cid:ii_14c8ba4e91fcf21b" alt=3D"Inline image 4" width=3D"485" 
height=3D"340">

and the cid:: values are the Content-ID: values of the separate attachments/mime 
sections.  However, I also noticed that Content-Disposition: inline; 
filename="image.png" is identical for all four images.

I doubt whether the non-unique filenames are the cause--I believe that Balsa 
pays no attention to them. In the handful of emails that I can test on, the 
image content-ids match the cid: references, and it all just works.

Has anyone else seen issues with inline images in HTML message parts?

Peter
