I have decided to return to an issue that I tried to solve months ago; a problem using Thunderbird with Mercury. I have just sent the same (multiple addressee) e-mail message, with a PDF attachment, through my office Exchange system to three accounts. They are a GMail account, an account with my local Freenet, and and account with my normal ISP. I used Thunderbird 2.0.0.19 to download the mail from all; accounts. For the GMail and Freenet accounts, I made a direct IMAP connection and for my normal ISP, I picked up the mail using Mercury's Distributing POP3 client and then pulled it off Mercury using IMAP. In the GMail and Freenet cases, the mail came through perfectly. However, the copy using Mercury comes though with blank body content, though it can be seen by using Message/Edit message as new.
Thomas tried to help me when I was trying to solve this issue before, but I was unsuccessful in the end.
The only clue that I have is that after the mail comes in, the Thunderbird Error Console shows
Warning: Error in parsing value for property 'background-color'. Declaration dropped". Source File: chrome://messenger/content/preferences/preferences.xul Line: 0
Given the two successful messages, it seems to me that, for the blank message, I either have a problem caused by my normal ISP or there is a problem with Mercury.
There are no problem when using Outlook Express as the e-mail client.
I'm wondering whether this might be a MIME decoding problem, given the reference to "background-color" in the Error Console. There was no colour used in the message body, but it did exist in the attachment.
If anyone has had any experience of this, since I raised the issue some months ago, I would be pleased to hear frm them.
Thank you
Gordon
