Description

[Chris McAfee]

Linux, compose a new message.
Attach a file, I was using a plain text file.
Use the file dialog to find a file, click OK,
error in stdout says file attachment failed.

I see this problem on today win32 commercial seamonkey build 2000-01-10-09-m13.
 It's strange.  At times I can attach a very small text file but larger
attachments I can't.  I've not been able to narrow it down.

Note: there's no mac or linux commercial builds for me to test.
Changing platforms to all and changing summary to add that this is a regression.

Failure to attach is a form of data loss; marking PDT+.

Accepting

I cannot reproduce this problem (I have tried on Mac and Windows). Peter can you narrow it down please. Thanks

Also, when does the error occure? during the composition or during the send process?

Looks like a linux-only problem.
It happens at attach-time.
Might be related to file dialog fix pavlov just put in.
