when forwarding message with more attachments (7 or more I think) and deleting
few of these attachment from the list in Compose window, not all remaining
attachments are send

Reproducible: Always
Steps to Reproduce:
1.Start new mail and add for example 9 attachments (I did 9, jpg images, 2MB).
(we need to receive message with couple of attachments). Send it to yourself.
2. When receive that mail (with everything OK) press "Forward" and delete for
exapmle first attachment from the list.
3. Send it to yourself again. 



Actual Results:  The received message contains only 5 (in this case) attachments...

Expected Results:  Mozilla should send all attachments remaining in list

I am not able to reproduce this problem using a recent trunk or branch build on
either Mac or Windows, I tried with 9 small images (242K total) without problem
and also with 9 larges images (4.6Mb total).

Reported, have you tried a recent build?

I can confirm this with my more recent build (2002052918) on Linux. This does
not appear to happen on Windows, so it is a Linux only bug.

My test case is:

1. send yourself an email with 9 attachments (size does not matter, they can
even be empty files).
2. when you receive this email, forward it to yourself. I have forwarding set to
"Inline", so that attachments appear as in original email.
3. when you receive this forwarded email (or look in your sent folder), it will
only have 7 attachments.

If you actually delete some attachments as specified by the previous bug poster,
then mozilla still only sends those remaining of the first 7 attachments. That
is if you delete attachment 1 [details] [diff] [review], then it will only send attachments 2-7 of the
original 9 attachments.

This bug has caused us problems, as there is no indication that the attachments
have been truncated (unless you specifically check your sent folder).

Cheers, Nick.

Don't now, I'm using Moz1.1. Not tested recent build, sorry... :-)

Is this bug resolved or not?

If there is no reply, this bug should shortly be closed.

-M

P.S. This bug should have been confirmed long ago. It is decently reported, and
the build was current at the time of reporting.

This does not happen anymore. Tested as described in comment 2 with build:
   Mozilla/5.0 (X11; U; Linux i686; en-US; rv:1.1) Gecko/20020826

all attachments are now forwarded as expected.
