If one tries to forward the attached e-mail, an error message saying 'Attaching
TrackImage' appears and then nothing further happens. If, on the other hand, one
clicks 'Reply' and changes the address to that of one's intended forwardee, the
sending proceeds normally.

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Open e-mail, click 'Forward'.
2. Enter address of correspondent.
3. Click 'Send'.
4. Go back to inbox, click 'Reply'.
5. Change sender's address to that of intended correspondent.
6. Click 'Send'.
Actual Results:  
At 3., message appears: 'Attaching TrackImage'. Then everything stops.
At 6., sending of message proceeds normally.

Expected Results:  
At 3., the message should have been sent in the ordinary way.

I'm afraid that, as with your bug 287675, I'm unable to reproduce this problem, maybe because I'm not using a Mac.  You are running a somewhat old build -- are you seeing the problem in the suite or with Thunderbird?  If the suite, you probably should update to Seamonkey 1.0.1.

Mike, This is quite old now. I am currently using SeaMonkey 1.0.2 and have not come across the problem since reporting it in June 2005 (using the then-current trunk build of the Mozilla suite). Since it was, even then, specific to particular e-mails, I cannot at the moment check whether the problem is still there in S.M. 1.0.2. If I receive another e-mail from that particular source, I shall try forwarding it again and shall report on the result.

Further to Comment # 4, I have just received an e-mail from the source that created the problem in 2005, and was able to forward it without any difficulty. Either the format of that source's e-mails has changed, or SeaMonkey has been cured of that particular ailment.

OK; resolving this as WFM for now, but feel free to reopen if the problem recurs.
