Attachments corrupted

[bgoe...@gmail.com]

Hi,

I'm having a really weird problem with TB 3.0.3. When I open an e-mail
with a PDF-attachment, the first time I can open the attachment. The
second time, the e-mail message is reduced to 1KB and I can't open the
attachment. I can however open the attachment from webmail, so it is
not being deleted.

I'm not sure if it's related to PDF, but that's what happened here so
far. Does anybody have had a similar experience?

this is typical or for email from certain senders?

If it is reproducible and you have a small non-personal message you can
file a bug and upload the message to the bug.

Do you use IMAP? I have recently been having the problem of almost *no*
attachments coming through correctly. In the case of graphics, I can
see that only the beginning has gotten through -- and only the beginning
of the first of a series of graphics attachments.

I finally discovered that if I wait long enough -- which can be *very*
long -- the entire attachment (or all of the attachments) finally come
through.

As usual, I don't know whether the problem is TB (2.0), gmail, or the
interaction between them. But, interestingly, the problem only started
a couple of months ago, after attachments having dowloaded quickly and
correctly before that.

Hey, I am having the exactly same problem after I use Thunderbird 3

I was using Thunderbird 2 without this problem.
After change to Thunderbird 3, I am getting this problem.

I am using IMAP with my local email server.
Sometimes after I check the email first time, and when I want to check again, I cannot read the email and attachment and the size of the email become 1KB.

When I note the 1KB email, I would know it's the problem agagin.

Not all the email having this problem but some of email will happen.

I am quite worry about this case as some of the email having important attachment and message that I cannot lose.

Have this problem being solved???
I look forward to any news who can provide. Thanks.

Same problem here, the message is looking good with the correct number
of attachment, but the single file (.pdf in this case) had a 27Byte
size (the same size every time even on different workstation).

Here is the corrupted one attachment:
X-Mozilla-IMAP-Part: 2
Content-Type: application/octet-stream; name="Phosphate Slurry
Properties.pdf"
Content-Disposition: attachment; filename="Phosphate Slurry
Properties.pdf"
Content-Transfer-Encoding: base64

This body part will be downloaded on demand.

and the right one:
Content-Type: application/octet-stream; name="Phosphate Slurry
Properties.pdf"
Content-Disposition: attachment; filename="Phosphate Slurry
Properties.pdf"
Content-Transfer-Encoding: base64

This is the same message, on the mail server there is no problem (i
can correctly see the attachment), to see it on client i deleted the
"C:\Documents and Settings\massimop\Application Data\Thunderbird
\Profiles\ey6hx7go.default\ImapMail", then i started Thunderbird (IMAP
account) and the message was correctly downloaded.

I'm using Thunderbird 3.x (last version, i have to check if
necessary), Antivir Personal (no email scan enabled).
It's a new installation and i don't know if Thunderbird 2.x works fine
with that.

Any idea or test i can do to identify the problem?

P.S.
I'm sorry for my english i hope it is clear enough
