Hello!

When I am composing a message and I drag and drop an image (tested with PNGs) into it, if I select: File > Save As > File, and the file untitled.html already exists, it asks if we want to overwrite it, I select yes, but it ignores the "yes" and keeps the old file.

Try doing this multiple times. It will always keep the old untitled.html .
Confirmed :-( - You don't need an image, just make something bold in the text so that it's saved as untitled.html. Actually, if you just enter unformatted text, the file untitled.txt isn't overwritten.

Alice, can you find the regression for us? It might be bug 1341211, especially
