Description

[Rigas]

User-Agent:       Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Windows NT 5.0; el-GR; rv:1.7.6) Gecko/20050321 Firefox/1.0.2
Build Identifier: Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Windows NT 5.0; el-GR; rv:1.7.6) Gecko/20050321 Firefox/1.0.2

Mozilla composer seems to have a cache for attachments that does not update.
When I keep sending a mail with an attachment with the same name, but I change
the file, it keeps getting the old file


Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Send a mail with a zip file hello.zip
2. Change the file hello.zip
3. Send another mail and attach the same file hello.zip -> Old file is sent

Also:
1. Send a picture hello.gif
2. Senders sends you the modified picture but with same name
3. In the preview you get the old picture



Expected Results:  
Show and send the actual file and not the one from cache(?)

While your input is very important to us, our resources are limited and so we
are asking for your help in focussing our efforts. If you can still reproduce

you still believe we should implement it, please visit the URL of this bug
(given at the top of this mail) and add a comment to that effect, giving more
reproduction information if you have it.

If it is not a problem any longer, you need take no action. If this bug is not
