Do you attach the file per drag & drop? Then it seems to be a duplicate of bug
66373.

right, thanks ostgote.
so this bug was  noted  on 2001-01-23
a solution was proposed on 2002-07-26
and nobody is working on fixing it over 4 years later ???

is thunderbird still in develpment 
and do you know by whom ?
is there a dev mailinglist ?

kind regards     philippe
