Evolution will not display attached images
Last modified: 2002-11-27 01:23:31 UTC
Package: Ximian Packages Priority: Normal Version: 1.0.8-10 Synopsis: Evolution will not display attached images Bugzilla-Product: Ximian Packages Bugzilla-Component: evolution Description: Description of Problem: Standard images, sent as attachments show up as a white box. WHen you mouse over it and click - it says "save image as"... but you can't choose it. Nor through the options can you view attached files. THis makes Evolution virtually useless. Steps to reproduce the problem: 1. receive email with attachments 2. grumble - wont open 3. quit and open kmail Actual Results: NOTHING - that is the result. Expected Results: Attached files show up and are open/saveable How often does this happen? every time Additional Information: Unknown reporter: clowater@cogeco.ca, changed to bugbuddy-import@ximian.com. Setting qa contact to the default for this product. This bug either had no qa contact or an invalid one.
Standard images sent as attachments work fine. The white boxes are seen in HTML mail that includes image links. They need to download images from a web server before they're visible. This is used by spammers to confirm that you've received their mail, generally slows mail rendering, and doesn't work well with offline mail reading unless the images are downloaded when the mail is downloaded, which can increase mail download times significantly. For all these reasons, image loading is off by default. The inability to save the image is a function of it not having been downloaded (though in this context the option to save should probably not be available). If you want to turn on image loading, you can select View > Message Display > Load Images in the menus in the main Evolution window. Granted, this interface isn't terribly intuitive. There's already a bug on that. I'm closing this one as a duplicate of that one. *** This bug has been marked as a duplicate of 205277 ***
ah, I didn't notice that you had already submitted a bug. can you attach a sample message to this bug report?
Tried attaching a message, but there was nothing to attach. To describe the problem... "The first emails I sent you the images pasted directly in the body of the email. The last one I sent as an attachment. Perhaps you email application can't view pictures in an email?... I've sent them to you like that before, so maybe it's a linux thing." I could forward an email to you if that would help? TX - DC
just above the comments section, there is a link that says "Create new attachment". If you could click that and attach a sample message, it would be great. thanks
