272866 - Drag and Drop attachments fail; "Attach" button works fine.

Status: RESOLVED DUPLICATE of bug 66373

(Thunderbird :: Message Compose Window, defect)

Description

[Morbus Iff]

User-Agent:       Mozilla/5.0 (X11; U; Linux i686; en-US; rv:1.7.5) Gecko/20041107 Firefox/1.0
Build Identifier: Mozilla/5.0 (X11; U; Linux i686; en-US; rv:1.7.5) Gecko/20041107 Firefox/1.0

In Thunderbird 1.0rc1 Linux (only), drag and dropping attachments fails, upon
sending, with an error of "There was a problem including the file [file] in the
message. Would you like to continue sending the message without this file?" The
file is properly displayed in the Attachment box next to From/To/CC block.

Using the "Attach" button, however, works fine.

Reproducible: Always
Steps to Reproduce:
1. Open TB 1.0rc1 under Linux.
2. Create a new message with the "Write" button.
3. Drag a file into the From/To/CC area. You'll see it display in a new pane.
4. Put an address in the "To:" field.
5. Click the "Send" button. 
Actual Results:  
You'll receive the error above. You also won't be able to save the message into
the "Drafts" folder, instead receiving the same error message.

Expected Results:  
Functioned as per:

1. Open TB 1.0rc1 under Linux.
2. Create a new message with the "Write" button.
3. Click the "Attach" button and choose your file.
4. Put an address in the "To:" field.
5. Click the "Send" button.
