188717 - If I attempt to send a mail, it cannot save the mail to my "sent" folder and sends a blank mail

Status: RESOLVED FIXED

(MailNews Core :: MIME, defect)

Description

[Jack Mulliken]

User-Agent:       Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Windows NT 5.1; en-US; rv:1.2.1) Gecko/20021130
Build Identifier: Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Windows NT 5.1; en-US; rv:1.2.1) Gecko/20021130

When I send a mail, I recieve the message "The message was sent successfully,
but could not  be copied to your sent folder.  Unable to open the file
c:\DOCUME~1\EFAUST93\LOCALS~1\TEMP\nsmail.eml.  Would you like to return to the
compose window?"  Mozilla also sends a blank e-mail to the recipient.  This
happens no matter who is logged into the workstation and no matter what profile
I use.  


Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1.  try to send a mail (happens every time)
2.
3.

Actual Results:  
I receive the error message that I stated and only a blank e-mail is sent.  

Expected Results:  
It should have saved the mail in my "Sent" folder and sent the e-mail with the
message that I specified.  

I have uninstalled Mozilla, rebooted, then reinstalled Mozilla (1.2.1).  I
reverted down to a previous version of Mozilla (1.1) and received the same
results.  I tried Mozilla 1.3a to see if this would resolve the issue and it did
not.  

I deleted the Mozilla directory after I uninstalled Mozilla and this did not
help.  I deleted the nsmail.eml file also and it created nsmail-1.eml and gave
me the same error.  

I even went as far as to uninstall Mozilla, remove all of Mozilla's registry
entries, reboot, then reinstall Mozilla and create a new profile but I received
the same results - I can only send blank e-mails and it does not save the mail
in my sent folder.

I upgraded to Mozilla 1.3 and this problem went away.
