Dragging an attachment from the Nautilus finder to the attachments are of the
email composition window no longer works. When I try to send the mail, I get a
popup "Confirm: There was a problem including the file whatever.jpg in the
message. Would you like to continue sending the message without this file?"

Reproducible: Always
Steps to Reproduce:
1.Start Mozilla; compose an email.
2.Start Nautilus.
3.Use Nautilus to navigate to a jpg file.
4.drag and drop the jpg file to the the "attachments" area of the email.

Actual Results:  The file is listed in the attachments area, but the email will
fail.

Expected Results:  The attachment should send fine.

I can reproduce this problem on two RedHat 7.2 boxes.

Mozilla 0.9.2.1 and Mozilla 0.9.3 do NOT exhibit the problem.

Mozilla 0.9.6 and Mozilla 0.9.7 BOTH exhibit the problem.

This works for me (2002041707 Nautilus 1.06). Reporter (John McBride), do you
still see this problem in recent builds (0.9.9 or a nightly build)?

Marking bug WORKSFORME due to request to the reporter for further information
without a response for more than one month. Reporter (John McBride) if you
can reproduce this bug in a recent Mozilla (1.0 or a newer nightly) please
reopen this bug.
