117110 - can't send mail from Yahoo

Status: RESOLVED DUPLICATE of bug 116210

(SeaMonkey :: General, defect)

Description

[Craig A. Silvis]

composed message in Yahoo mail and when I clicked the send button it got hung up.
I tried the same thing with IE 6 and it worked okay.
here's the error page returned by Yahoo:

Request Timeout
The firewall did not detect the end of your request within a reasonable amount
of time. This may be due to one or more of the following:

    * An incorrectly formatted request,
    * a bug in your client software,
    * an overly congested network link between your client and the firewall, or
    * extraordinarily high latency between your client and the firewall.


The request seen by the firewall was:

    * http://us.f133.mail.yahoo.com/ym/Compose?YY=69002

Does the form have a file upload control (eg for attachments)?

>Does the form have a file upload control (eg for attachments)?
Yes, "Add/Delete Attachments".
But I was sending only text.

[timeless]

if you are using a 0.9.7 release, please read the release notes 
http://www.mozilla.org/releases/mozilla0.9.7/ - Uploading Files

Release notes say:
------------------
Mozilla will hang when submitting forms which have a field to upload files if 
this field is blank or refers to an invalid file. This affects sites using Zope 
or IMP webmail, among others. (Bug 116210) 
------------------

This is fixed on the trunk...
