(MailNews Core :: Attachments, defect)

Description

[Robert L. Carlson]

User-Agent:       Mozilla/5.0 (X11; U; Linux i686; fr-FR; rv:1.4) Gecko/20030624
Build Identifier: Mozilla/5.0 (X11; U; Linux i686; fr-FR; rv:1.4) Gecko/20030624

When mozilla is invoked with -compose attachment=filename (when mozilla is not
opened) or with -remote "xfeDoCommand(composeMessage,attachment=filename)" 
(when mozilla is already opened) delivery fails.  The compose window shows up
with the filename in the attachment field,  but when "send"  or "save" is
clicked, an error message pops up saying:

There was a problem including the file 'filename' with the message.  The option
is then given to deliver the message without the attachment.

This occurs on Solaris (with 1.4) as well as Linux.

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. invoke mozilla with $PATH/mozilla  -compose attachment=filename  _or_
   in voke mozilla with $PATH/mozilla  -remote
"xfeDoCommand(composeMessage,attachment=filename)"

2.  Try to send the message to any address
3.

Actual Results:  
Error message: 

There was a problem including the file 'filename' with the message.

Expected Results:  
Mozilla should deliver the message with the attachment

Occurs on Linux or solaris
