Public bug reported:
When I attach png images by dragging from the file browser to the header
region of the compose window, they are attached with correct mimetype.
Content-Type: image/png;
name="foo.png"
Content-Transfer-Encoding: base64
Content-Disposition: attachment;
filename="foo.png"
Similarly, *inline* png images attach fine when using Thunderbird's
native file picker.
Content-Type: image/png;
name="foo.png"
Content-Transfer-Encoding: base64
Content-ID: <part1.random_numb...@foobar.com>
Content-Disposition: inline;
filename="foo.png"
However, when I attach them inline by *dragging* from the file browser
into the body, they are attached with the incorrect mime type as
Content-Type: text/plain; charset=ISO-8859-1
Content-Transfer-Encoding: base64
Content-ID: <part1.00030206.09040...@foobar.com>
The latter displays fine for the recipient if they are using
Thunderbird, or via the gmail web interface. However, OSX Mail.app users
only see a text file <Mail Attachment.txt> full of nonsense. Kmail also
fails to display the image correctly.
It seems that Thunderbird is using the wrong mime type when png images
are attached inline. (I also see a similar problem with .jpg files.)
I see the same problem whether dragging from Dolphin file browser,
Konqueror, Krusader, Firefox (via the browser window itself), and Kate's
file picker. With Firefox, I entered the file path into the url bar, and
dragged from the main browser window. I also attempted to install
Nautilus, but I can't even drag from it (with KDE). I've also tried
dragging from Firefox's browser window in Xubuntu, which had the same
problem.
I tried safe mode, and this didn't fix it. Finally, installing
Thunderbird directly from the website *does* fix the problem so it's a
problem introduced in the Ubuntu package.
