I have a similiar problem with ii thunderbird 2.0.0.17+nobinonly-0ubu mail/news client with RSS and integrated spam filter support
I performed several test and found out that ONLY Thunderbird (I tried two other IMAP clients, evolution and Squirrelmail) doewnloads the attachment only INCOMPLETE. It's truncated at the very end. I tried several machines (32 Bit and 64 bit) and all of them expose the same behaviour. It results in "short" attachments and subsequently programs like eving/eog not being able to open TIFF attachments at all. -rw-r--r-- 1 hildeb hildeb 52864 2008-10-31 14:39 broken-linux.TIF -rw-r--r-- 1 hildeb hildeb 73845 2008-10-31 13:21 notbroken-outlook.TIF I then used "od" to create a hexdump and used diff to see "what changed": -rw-r--r-- 1 hildeb hildeb 210468 2008-10-31 14:47 broken-linux.od -rw-r--r-- 1 hildeb hildeb 294277 2008-10-31 14:47 notbroken-outlook.od Attached is the diff of those two *.od files ** Attachment added: "diff of those two *.od files" http://launchpadlibrarian.net/19272324/od.diff -- thunderbird 2.0 couldn't manage any attachment (pdf, archives..etc..).Every time i try to open a file attached to a message it can't be opened https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/163213 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
