[Desktop-packages] [Bug 673342] Re: [wishlist] Support displaying inline tiff images (to support mails fom Mac Mail)
This entire thread seems to discuss the pros of other web graphic formats. Who cares -- this is a mail app, not a web browser?!? If Macs default to sending screenshots as TIFFs, then I need a mail app that can display TIFFs, because like it or not there are a lot of people who use Macs and who send emails to Windows users like me. This thread's been going for 17 years and my Thunderbird STILL doesn't display a TIFF. When I responded to the sender that I couldn't see their screenshot, my reply actually rendered the TIFF and they think I'm an idiot because I use a mail app that doesn't work "properly". -- 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/673342 Title: [wishlist] Support displaying inline tiff images (to support mails fom Mac Mail) Status in Mozilla Thunderbird: Won't Fix Status in thunderbird package in Ubuntu: Triaged Bug description: Binary package hint: thunderbird When a user of Apple Mac Mail pastes images in a email body, they are attached as tiff images (can't figure out why they didn't use png), Thunderbird doesn't know how to display these and just shows a big broken square instead.

I didn't see any bug in all of bugzilla that proposed adding TIFF support to Mozilla. The US Patent Office uses TIFF files for all of their images of patents, which I ended up having to view source and manually download. Is there interest in adding TIFF, or is it not a web format and considered bloat? (It's more of a web format then BMP and XBM). This support might also be very useful to online faxing applications, since faxes are generally stored as TIFF files.

You have to have the entire file before you can begin to display it. No incremental display. That's one reason why it's not used much. There's also the compression issue. LZW was one of the original compression schemes so there are patent issues. Lots of people are using uncompressed TIFFs to avoid this so you wind up downloading megabyte blobs before anything happens. The one big win is CCITT G4 (fax) compression which is usually better on b/w images than anything else. That's why the USPTO uses it. Overall, I don't think it's a good idea.

Indeed, TIFF is a poor choice for web graphics. TIFF is very old and very common format, however. A lot of old image archives use it because it is still useful.
