TB 78.6.1 (64-bit) in-line attachments do not show in message?

[Irv Spalten]

I am not sure why? I've got VIEW - Message Body as Original Email, and
Display Attachments Inline checked?

All I see is a BOX and on the bottom I see the Attachments and select
them to see them (usually they ARE JPG's with some being PNG's).

I've restarted in SAFE MODE, still doesn't work?

I can't find any other reports like this though?

Suggestions?

This sometimes happens with mails sent from Outlook, because Microsoft doesn’t insert them correctly according to the specs.

There’s probably a pile of bugs filed for it.

Have you allowed "Remote Content in Messages"

These are not REMOTE content, but attachments that are part of the e-mail.

These are .PNG files by the way.

Some of the source code:

Content-Type: image/png
Content-Transfer-Encoding: base64
Content-Disposition: inline; filename="Embedded1610551354285.png"
Content-ID: <dLziHyL9IF3o90ItqBXn>
-----------------

There is a matching file with the above name showing in the attachment list.

OK, good to know.

These is seems are all .PNG files. I think it might be handling .JPG OK?

Further inspection of the mail source shows it was sent via Web Mail @
Yahoo. Came from someone else and that info was removed.

Hard to tell why it isn't working?

[WaltS48]

Can you open the attachment?

Adding an attachment and looking at the source of the sent message I see:

Content-Type: image/png;
name="search-icon.png"
Content-Transfer-Encoding: base64
Content-Disposition: attachment;
filename="search-icon.png"

Looking at the source of the received message I see:

Content-Type: image/png;
name="search-icon.png"
Content-Transfer-Encoding: base64
Content-Disposition: attachment;
filename="search-icon.png"

The attachment appears inline in the email.

No remote content setting needed because it isn't remote.

I don't know how the sender of that email added the attachment, but it
doesn't look like it was done properly to display inline.

When I use Insert > Image and add the location of the file I see:

Content-Type: image/png;
name="search-icon.png"
Content-Transfer-Encoding: base64
Content-ID: <part1.3419E...@comcast.net>
Content-Disposition: inline;
filename="search-icon.png"

The image appears inline in the email, but not as an attachment.

Ah, sending one to myself using my AOL web mail, I get the image inline
and the attachment. The source looks like this:

Content-Type: image/png
Content-Transfer-Encoding: base64
Content-Disposition: attachment; filename="=?utf-8?B?c2VhcmNoYmFyLnBuZw==?="
Content-ID: <nG2jTcQWFIKnvy7R1pHi>

I did not try Insert > Image on the site.

[Irv Spalten]

Yes, I can open the attachment and also save it if I want?

Always worked before, both in-line and the file itself could be saved
from the bottom list of attachments?

Maybe those I've seen were only .JPG's?

Something has changed, or I never got .PNG's in-line before?

OK, did a small test and sent a mail to myself.

Took a JPG file and saved it as a PNG.

Put both into the SAME email and sent it to myself.

No problem, both appeared in-line.

Must be a problem on the sending end.

Sorry for the bother, should have tried this first.

Thanks.

You can right-click on any displayed image and select Save As from the
drop-down menu. Doesn't matter whether the image is inline or an
attachment. I very rarely Save As from the attachment list.

Generally, right-click gives you a menu, left click triggers some
action. If you don't see the action you expect/want, right-click, and
see what's on offer.

Did you see the format of the source code of his message that doesn't
display the image in a previous reply?

A test email with an attachment has:

A test email using Insert > Image has:

Content-Transfer-Encoding: base64
Content-ID: <part1.3419E...@comcast.net>
Content-Disposition: inline;

I'm thinking the email application added the word "Embedded" to the
filename causing it not to be displayed.

Now how exactly did you create this email with an embedded image?

Using Drag + Drop from my Files app into an HTML message works for me.

[Irv Spalten]

No, that IS the filename as it appears on the bottom 'attachment'
listing, 'Embedded' is the beginning of the filename. All 14 of them
were named like that followed by individual digits. In the email was a
blank box for each one that would normally show.

As another test I saved one of the .PNG files and then just sent myself
an email I created with that .PNG file embedded. Open the email and the
picture shows? Has to be a problem on the sender's end?

Check out Good Guys Copy/Paste test in the mozilla.test newsgroup of
that site after I allowed remote content.

I can see the image in it.

My apologies... I now realize I left out an important piece of information!

My opening this dialog was intending to be me reporting a TB issue. I
described how I expose it.

The issue is ONLY in TB... and my "workaround" is "Edit as new".

In the email inbox IN THE BROWSER, it is working correctly.
....only in TB does the complaint exist.
