Details

Highlighting multiple emails (>1) and then ctrl-L to forward them no longer
works. A compose window appears, but it does not have the messages
auto-attached. Doing this with just a single message highlighted works as expected.

This is a clone of 310567. The problem description is exactly the same.
The issue had arisen recently (in the last, say, 4 months?), then resolved. And has regressed.

Works for me (one email per selected).

What TB version?
And, yes, one at a time works as expected. The issue is selecting more than one message to forward.

Tested on daily (but 128 would be the same). I meant that I selected multiple, and the then I get one new compose message per message to forward inline. If I choose to forward as attachment, then the attached mails are all in the one mail.

TB v115.12.2
Argh! I just tried this again; it works as expected. Previously ctrl-L did nothing.

Okay. I found why this seems so erratic. Apparently ctrl-L does not work in certain folders: Trash, <any folder with Junk in the name>. Most of the time. It is inconsistent from one account to another. Most accounts fail in Trash, less so in other folders.

TB 128.4.0esr (64-bit)

Still a issue.
Regarding my previous post (#5). I cannot say which folders selecting multiple messages for forwarding works. It seems rather random. Sometimes it works, most times not.
