I just verified this.  I have to agree that this is a serious bug.

I just installed 8.15, hoping it would work with attachments correctly. It
didn't. There appeared to be a lot of mail handling (in IWebMsg) fixes the
list, but my pet peeve is still broken. If a Text Email has an HTML
attachment, IMail renders the HTML and NOT THE TEXT (unless you click on
Printable Version).

THIS IS VERY DANGEROUS AND SHOULD BE FIXED.
THIS IS VERY DANGEROUS AND SHOULD BE FIXED.
THIS IS VERY DANGEROUS AND SHOULD BE FIXED.

THIS IS VERY DANGEROUS AND SHOULD BE FIXED.

Here's the dangerous scenario (excerpted from my Bug report: Case:
T200410280244):

IMail's web mail chokes on "Content-Type: message/rfc822". I just did a test
with Microsoft Outlook 2K. I typed a simple message and dragged another
message to it as an attachment.

My message does not display on the Webmail client unless/until I click the
"Printable Version" button.

This is a VERY SEVERE error. Say a Microsoft spoof email came out with "in a
command prompt, enter DELTREE C:\WINNT to update to XP 4K" or some such
foolishness.

I send an email to my father saying:

"The attached email is crap. If you get anything like it, don't do it!

Your Son, the technonurd."


He receives the email, FROM ME!, opens it and it says:

"in a command prompt, enter DELTREE C:\WINNT to update to XP 4K"


How's he supposed to know to hit "Printable Version" to read what the
message really says? If the "attached message" is HTML, the coversheet
doesn't display except with Printable. Also, I see
"------=_NextPart_000_037F_01C4BD03.2F63AEB0--" at the end of the html
display, which also is wrong. It's just broken! If the attached message is
plain text, it displays inline, even if the Preference is for a link. This
is better, but still crap.

I cc'd [EMAIL PROTECTED] Wonder what that'll do. Just in case they read
this, I'm IL-600690

Release Notes:
Details :
o System-wide: Consistent handling of first, last, and full names has been
implemented.
  - Rules for generating the fullname from its components are now consistent
throughout the system.
    - If both first and last names are supplied,
      fullname = first + space + last
    - If only last name is supplied,
      fullname = last
    - If only first name is supplied,
      first name is copied to last name
      first name is made empty
      fullname = last (with value previously in first)
    - If neither first nor last is supplied
      userid is copied to last name
      fullname = last (with value copied from userid)
  - Rules for breaking the fullname into its components
    are now consistent throughout the system.
    - If the fullname contains a space,
      Everything up to the first space is copied to the
      first name
      Everything after the first space is copied to the
      last name
    - If the fullname does not contain a space
      Fullname is copied to last name
      First name is empty
  - In IAdmin, the first and last names are used to generate the Fullname
field in the registry and to populate the gn, sn, and cn LDAP values if LDAP
is running.
  - Previously, changes to LDAP attributes of gn, sn, and cn could be made
independently of changing the Fullname in the registry.  These changes are
now synchronized when using IAdmin, LDAPer, and Web Messaging.
  - In Web Messaging, the LDAP fields of First, Last, and Common Name all
still accept data, but the value entered in the Common Name field is parsed
to create the gn and sn LDAP attributes...effectively ignoring the values
entered in the First and Last fields.
  - Adduser now accepts names with or without spaces.
o Anti-Spam: Content filtering is no longer applied to Trusted IPs in
multiple message sessions o IAdmin: 0.0.0.0 is no longer accepted by the
Access Control dialogs as a valid IP address.
o IMAP4D32: OR command now properly handles SEARCHes.
o IMAP4D32: Now correctly handles LISTing a mailbox specified with a
trailing slash.
o IMAP4D32: No longer incorrectly reports two INBOXes.
o IMAP4D32: Corrected FETCH BODYSTRUCTURE handling of some messages with
specific formatting.
o LDAP: Can now store and retrieve Japanese names.  The data is now UTF-8
encoded when using Japanese.
o Mailall: Now calls Queue Manager instead of SMTP32 directly.
o Web Messaging: The Fullname tag now returns the Fullname. Use the
GivenName tag to retrieve the first name o Web Messaging: List
Administration no longer incorrectly modifies the owner of a list.
o Web Messaging: Fixes made to both B-Encoding and Q-Encoding logic to
better handle Japanese text and filenames.
o Web Messaging: Line breaks no longer cause text color
  changes under certain conditions.
o Web Messaging: Improved handling of quoted printable content.
o Web Messaging: Attachments are no longer renamed when
  Content-type is incomplete.
