either Send or Save you're presented with two error alerts saying "Seding of 
message failed"

To reproduce:
1. Compose a new message
2. Attach file c:\temp\test.png
3. Go to your file commander and delete c:\temp\test.png
4. Press Send

This bug is a new bug written from left over problem in bug 59261.  However, as 
stated we don't get (2) error msgs with builds on 3-1-01 on winme, mac and 
linux.  What's left is that the user get's one error message "Sending of message 
failed".  This message doesn't provide the user with any idea of why it failed, 
which is bad.  If we can't fix this bug by saving the attachment in temporary 
memory like 4.7x, then we need a better error msg.  We already have a bunch of 
"Sending of message failed"  bugs we can't reproduce because we don't have 
enough information as to why it failed.  This could help us reproduce bugs 
sooner.

I don't see two error with a 0.9.4 build. Which build and which platform are you
using?

This is working fine for me using a recent Windows build. However, this scenario
will cause a crash under MacOS X, i'll file a separate bug for that.
