App
Thunderbird for Android
App version
20.0
Where did you get the app from?
Google Play
Android version
16
Device model
oneplus
Steps to reproduce
HTML email that is encoded like
Content-Type: text/html; charset=UTF-8;
name=attachment-7e164bea-130d-4de5-9739-4684fca12345
Content-Transfer-Encoding: base64
Content-Disposition: inline;
filename=attachment-7e164bea-130d-4de5-9739-4684fca12345
does not render inline. Instead, it is displayed as an attachment without file extension. This might explain why it is not rendered.
Viewing the attachment in Firefox reveals the text.
The same email displays well on my Thunderbird desktop 140.12.1esr
Expected behavior
Display HTML text inline.
Actual behavior
Not rendered inline. Instead, it is displayed as an attachment without file extension.

Research direction
Reproduce the issue in Thunderbird for Android using the supplied MIME headers and trace the message-viewing path that distinguishes inline HTML from attachments. Confirm the message renders HTML inline rather than as an extensionless attachment, and add or update a regression test covering this MIME shape.
