In the sent folder (i have not tested in the inbox folder) presence of
an attachement is displayed by then image of a paper clip.
But when the attached file is a .zip one, the image is missing !!!!
Is this another bug of SM or a "feature" invented by the developpers ?
I should also add the fact that i did not see the attachment in a
window
located right of the headers. So no way to retrieve it by doing a "save
attachment".
Ray,

This smacks of invention by the developers, because no one is supposed
to send .zip attachments. They may carry "bugs".

Really? And just how did you come to that conclusion?

Perhaps *you* have that issue (if you've even tested and I doubt you
did) because you are running an old and insecure version of SeaMonkey?

Post a screenshot with a sent + zip& show us what you see.

@Ray: I cannot reproduce with SeaMonkey (linux and Windows) versions
2.7-9. Post a screenshot somewhere.

I cannot show you inexistant stuff :-)
I have done a test sending a mail with an attached zip file to myself:
When i compose it, i see the attachment window in the upper right
handside with the zip file name.
After sent ....
Both in the inbox folder and in the sent folder, i see the paperclip
....BUT if i click on the mail to read it in the preview window...
...The paperclip disappear and there is no small window with the
attachment where i can save it.

So i am unable to retrieve a zip file sent. and i cannot send a zip file
to myself.

(I have done a test to and from a hotmail mail - and all goes well the
hotmail inbox permit the save and when SM receive a mail with a zip file
attached the SM mail inbox permit also the save of this file)

Any chance your getting e-mail via MAPI and not POP?
I have seen disappearing attachments (that I can still get via the web interface) with MAPI e-mail but it all works fine with POP. This has been happening for quite a while however (since early 2.x versions). It seems some clients encode the e-mail differently than others and so I have the issue more with certain sending clients only.

For example I have one customer who is unable to send me attachments that I can retrieve in SM but they are always there when I use the web interface. It is something about that particular clients e-mail only.
Yahoo mail seems to be the worst offender.


I think that mapi nor pop is involved, because i did not have the attachment in the mail present in the "Sent" folder .... This mail is just a copy of the outbox - in other word, the mail did not reach my isp servers.
