320185 - It's impossible to delete or detach attachment via File Menu

Status: VERIFIED FIXED

(Thunderbird :: Mail Window Front End, defect)

Description

[Piotr Komoda]

Attachments can be deleted or detached from attachment context menu, but not from File -> Attachments -> (Attachment name) -> Detach.../Delete. JavaScript Console throws following errors:

Error: this.attachment.detachAttachment is not a function
Source File: chrome://messenger/content/messenger.xul
Line: 1

Error: this.attachment.deleteAttachment is not a function
Source File: chrome://messenger/content/messenger.xul
Line: 1

Tested on both new and old profile, on Windows and Linux.

this is unfortunate.

we'll have to try to fix this for 2.0 and release note it for 1.5

Attachment: proposed fix (for trunk)

This fixes it for me, not sure if the original methods were supposed to work? (they do seem to exist in the mailnews version of msgHdrViewOverlay.js)
