Yes, I have it enabled. Sorry and thanks for the info. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Desktop Packages, which is subscribed to thunderbird in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/275471 Title: mozilla attachments are dowloaded multiple times Status in Mozilla Thunderbird Mail and News: Invalid Status in “thunderbird” package in Ubuntu: Triaged Bug description: 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. ubuntu 8.04 hardy thunderbird: Installed: 2.0.0.16+nobinonly-0ubuntu0.8.04.1 Candidate: 2.0.0.17+nobinonly-0ubuntu0.8.04.1 Version table: 2.0.0.17+nobinonly-0ubuntu0.8.04.1 0 500 http://mirror.pacific.net.au hardy-security/main Packages *** 2.0.0.16+nobinonly-0ubuntu0.8.04.1 0 500 http://mirror.pacific.net.au hardy-updates/main Packages 100 /var/lib/dpkg/status 2.0.0.12+nobinonly-0ubuntu1 0 500 http://mirror.pacific.net.au hardy/main Packages ProblemType: Bug Architecture: i386 Date: Sun Sep 28 21:21:28 2008 Dependencies: DistroRelease: Ubuntu 8.04 NonfreeKernelModules: fglrx Package: mozilla-thunderbird None [modified: /var/lib/dpkg/info/mozilla-thunderbird.list] PackageArchitecture: all ProcEnviron: PATH=/usr/local/sbin:/usr/local/bin:/usr/sbin:/usr/bin:/sbin:/bin:/usr/games LANG=en_US.UTF-8 SHELL=/bin/bash SourcePackage: thunderbird Uname: Linux 2.6.24-19-generic i686 To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/thunderbird/+bug/275471/+subscriptions -- Mailing list: https://launchpad.net/~desktop-packages Post to : [email protected] Unsubscribe : https://launchpad.net/~desktop-packages More help : https://help.launchpad.net/ListHelp
