did talkback come up for you Marcia?

Comment 2

I think this might be fixed on the trunk - there was a patch that nulled out the
progress on cancel, iirc.

Comment 3

[David :Bienvenu]

most likely a dup of bug 238614 

Comment 4

[Scott MacGregor]

Yup, I think that's it. Nice find David.

Actually this bug (or the discovery thereof) is mostly a result of TBs
incapability to specify in advance whether the attachment has to be excluded
from the copy to the sent folder. (which usually makes sense for large files).

I know that there was a bug filed on this issue, though I cannot find it - any
ideas where this has gone and what the current status is?
Thanks in advance!

This is surely not resolved.
Seen this many times on:
Linux (Suse 10 Kernel 2.6.13-9-smp and older versions)
Windows NT 4.0 WS - with following versions of Mozilla and Thunderbird on different machines P4 / Celeron / Athlon / AthlonXP / Duron

Windows Mozilla 1.7.x (last crash on version 1.7.12)
Windows+Linux TB 1.0 - 1.0.7
Windows TB 1.5 Beta2
Linux Mozilla 1.7.x
Linux TB Version 1.0.7 (20050923)

STR slighly differ on Linux:
1-3 are the same as above
4 requester appears "Sending of message failed..." 
5 Click OK
6 Thunderbird disappears (crash)
