TB is not able to show or at least to save an attachment

I found that if mail contains attached .png file larger that about 20540 bytes, and Content-Type is application/octet-stream, TB is not able to show it or at least save it. When I save it, only 27 bytes (the same 27 bytes for any png file) is saved. I found that:

1) The attachment is O.K., because I am able to open Message Source, copy the text and decode the attachment in external BASE64 decoder. 1) It really depends on png. If I rename the file and change by binary editor the first 3 bytes (PNG), TB does not detect that the file is png and allow me to save it without any problem. No problem with .jpg of any size for instance.

Bellow is Message Source of mail with attached 2 png files, which TB is not able to show or save, but is able it (to show and to save too) if only one of them is attached. But together they exceed that mysterious limit 20540 bytes. When I try to save them, the same 27 bytes (not any part of png file) is saved.

TB is 52.2.1 under Windows XP

Thunderbird identifies attachments by the MIME type. Content-Type application/octet-stream is wrong for a PNG attachment. Have the sender to set the MIME type correctly .

Thunderbird does not ... allow me to save it without any problem.

What exactly does this mean?

I know, that the MIME type is wrong. But TB should be able to save the file or let it open in an external viewer anyway. If the attached file is unidentified binary file, for instance crippled png image file without an extension, TB is able to save it to disk "as is". If TB identify somehow, that the file is png image, it saves only 27 strange bytes. Now I tried to send .jpg with Content-Type: application/octet-stream, and the result is the same - when I try to save it, only usual 27 bytes is saved.

If this doesn't help, then I don't know. In that case you may want to raise a bug in Bugzilla. https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/

https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=1418444#c3 It is confirmed, when the massage is not saved locally. But TB is still able to save the message as .eml file and than open it without any problems.
