Paul, Did you read the first paragraph, especially lines 3/4 and then
the remainder of my posting which you snipped?
Yes, but I wasn't confident that I understood correctly, so I asked for
clarification. This happens sometimes when someone says something very
surprising or inconsistent with the listener/reader's own experience --
the listener/reader can't believe his ears/eyes:
I won the lottery!
No way!
Way!
No, really!? Are you sure?
Absolutely!
Where's the ticket?
etc.
I tried to be precise in describing what is happening. Perhaps I was not
sufficiently complete and unambiguous.
Here is what I do that causes what I reported and asked about:
1) On the top menu line, I select View | headers | all
2) I select and display the e-mail of interest
3) On the _second_ menu line, the one which also has the 'send' icon,
I select the little down arrow on the right side of the 'forward' icon,
and then select in-line.
Crystal clear, thanks.
But even under these conditions, all original attachments should become
attachments to the forwarded message; none should be omitted.
If you choose Message | Forward As... Attachment, the entire original
message is bundled up as an attachment, and you can't verify what it
contains or edit it.
Which is why I was attempting to forward in-line.
Makes sense.
When I'm complaining about spam (which I only do very rarely anymore), I
generally use CTRL-U to reveal the full headers (the underlying code)
and copy/paste only that part to the ISP. I don't forward all the
graphics, scripts, etc. that follow. This is not the same as showing
"all" headers as you describe above, and it's more useful to an
investigator.
I could find no preference that limits the size of forwarded messages,
or outgoing messages generally.
Not a problem.
I mentioned this because I wanted to rule out the possibility that the
message was being truncated to avoid exceeding some size limit.
AFAIK (I'm not a Mozilla tech), what you describe is not normal. I've
been using this family of programs since Netscape 4 (over a decade), and
have never seen it.
