188096 - Can't attache multiple files as a group, must attach one at a time. Was not a problem in 1.2.1

Status: VERIFIED DUPLICATE of bug 184885

(MailNews Core :: Attachments, defect)

Description

[H Beitman]

User-Agent:       Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Win98; en-US; rv:1.0.0) Gecko/20020530
Build Identifier: Mozilla 1.3a (went back to 1.2.1 when I found many bugs)

When sending multiple attachments, photos for example, I could hold down CTRL
and click on as many attachments as I wanted - very efficient.  But in 1.3a this
only give me the directory (no attachments).  So I must add one file at a time,
very time consuming.

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1.Compose e-mail
2.Attach multiple files
3.Send e-mail

Actual Results:  
I find only the DIRECTORY is attached.  For example, if my files are as follows:
c:\Attached Files\Party\DCS0001....DCS0024, then all that I get as an attachment
is C:\Attached Files\Party - there are not actual files attached!  I can work
around this by attaching one file at a time, but in older versions this feature
workd (1.2.1 for example).  It was a problem in much older versions, but not lately.


Expected Results:  
The files should be attached after highlighting the files I wanted, as happens
in the previous version.

Using standard theme.
