+ Bug#: 1210
+ Product: Horde
+ Version: 2.3 Unstable
+ Platform: All Browsers
+ OS/Version: Linux
+ Status: NEW   
+ Resolution: 
+ Severity: normal
+ Priority: P2
+ Component: IMP
+ Area: BUILD
+ AssignedTo: chuck at horde.org

+ Summary: Wrong display of forwarded MIME multipart messages
+ 
+ If a MIME multipart message (that contains a text part and another MIME
+ multipart message as rfc822 (text + attachment) attached) is forwarded, then the
+ resulting mail consists of the text of forwarded message and a _single_
+ alternative part which contains the rfc822 attachment. It means, the
+ encapsulated part is not parsed correctly. Even more, the message beeing sent is
+ not created correctly.
+ 
+ Try to reproduce it like this:
+ 
+ 1. Send a mail with an attachment (say a jpeg) to yourself using something else
+ then IMP (mutt e.g.)
+ 2. Forward this message (disposition: attachment) using the samemail-client to a
+ mail-account which can receive and read mail through IMP
+ 3. Open the mail in IMP and forward it to yourself. Now in compose.php you see
+ an attachment (rfc822 message) which is supposed to be the forwarded message.
+ Select Disposition: attachment and do send the mail.
+ 4. Open the mail in any client you like (IMP/mutt/whatever) - what you now see,
+ is the text of your forwarded message + broken "forward-attachment".
+ 
+ I tried the same with several other clients (evolution / mutt / netscape mail) -
+ all of them have done the third step correctly, i.e. the last mail looked just
+ as I hoped it should do: 
+ 
+ text of forwarded mail (from step 3)
+ -> forwarded mail 2
+    -> forwarded mail 1 with jpeg attachment
