Details

The resources fork of an apple double attachment is lost when you edit a
draft/template message containing this kind of attachment, same during a forward
inline. Worst, a bogus attachment is generated which cause the send to ask the
user to drop it in order to be able to continue.

Would this have been fixed in version 60?

Well, I think in TB 60 we work even harder to remove resource forks. Given the age of the bug and the lack of traffic here, I think it's safe to close this. Plus, resource forks really have lost their significance, and also most e-mail system can't cope with apple-double MIME parts any more.
