Select Email Displays Nothing in Either Preview Pane or When Double Clicking

[tetsuo13]

Selecting the attached email displays nothing in the preview pane. The headers seem to be parsed correctly and I can view the sender, recipient, Subject, Date and Reply-To.

Issue confirmed.

Works for me with latest svn-trunk. (in text mode html tags are displayed, as they are there in text/plain part). Firefox 3.0, Opera 9.5, Dovecot 1.0.

This error is related to courier.
It returns the following for the BODYSTRUCTURE command. See iil_C_FetchStructureString().
{{
("text" "plain" NIL NIL NIL "8bit" 11292 338 NIL NIL NIL)
}}
But the message is obviously multipart.
Thunderbird shows it all right.

The first part has text/plain when in fact it contains Word formatted html, but that has nothing to do with RC's inability to display any part.

Found the issue.
The message is malformed.
It lacks the required header.

MIME-Version: 1.0

If I manually add it, Courier correctly parses the message and gives back a good bodystructure.

tetsuo13, are you running Courier IMAP?

[tetsuo13]

Yes, I'm running Courier.

[tensor]

Maybe this bug should be pushed to Courier devs?
If Courier is so strict in expecting MIME-Version: 1.0 header, should not it parse the message according to RFC 822 and give a "raw" message body, like a legacy MUA would treat the message in multipart/alternative format?

[alec]

Maybe it's possible to recognise such "empty" bodystructure and try to fetch and parse message anyway. Waiting for a patch ;).
