Help!

Serves me right for using an unsupported mail client mutter mutter mutter.

Anyway. Mozilla has spontaneously decided to start ignoring email attachments. On messages received before it took this decision, it still shows the paperclip icon in the message list window, but the attachments themselves no longer appear in preview pane. On messages received since, there's no sign at all of them containing attachments.

When I actually open a messages (of any vintage), the window is completely empty and doesn't even show the message contents (which do appear in preview).

Anyone got any thoughts?

Oh dear. Get Netscape to look at the Mozilla mailbox and see if it is broken?

Yeah, that's what I'm currently doing ;-) I worried that the mailbox files had corrupted or something, but Netscape can read them fine. Although in using it, I've discovered that the most recent version contains all the things I previously lacked which made me refuse to use it initially*, so I might just give in and use it. Feels like a cop out, though, and it doesn't have a cute dinosaur icon ;-(

* Reasonable support for multiple mail accounts, tabbed browsing, and killing popups. Although I'm not sure about the last one, cos I don't know which sites use them, cos I haven't seen one for so long.

If it's obviously not a problem written to the mbox files you could try backing up your mail (hey, do you store that locally or on a server?) and then uninstalling Mozilla and doing a fresh install.

Alternatively the windows version of sylpheed/claws works well enough by importing mbox to mh format, and there should be other email clients that handle the mbox format.

I've had no problems at all with version 1.3 of Moz on Win98.
