338385 - Can't save or send emails containing the word "attached" - No dialogs or error msgs

Status: RESOLVED INVALID

(Thunderbird :: Message Compose Window, defect)

Description

[Dennis Bareis]

User-Agent:       Mozilla/4.0 (compatible; MSIE 6.0; Windows NT 5.1; SV1; .NET CLR 1.1.4322; .NET CLR 2.0.50727)
Build Identifier: Thunderbird 1.5.0.2 (20060308)

I have had a fair few seemingly random instances where I can't save an email or send now (or later). There are no error messages or dialogs or an action taking place.

By trial and error I worked out that any email containing the word "attached" can't be sent/saved UNLESS there is actually an attachment

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Open thunderbird
2. Click "Write" to compose
3. Enter to email address (not actually required)
4. type "attached" into body
5. Try sending etc

Actual Results:  
Nothing happens

Expected Results:  
Email sent. If I add an attachment it sends, if it wonders whether or not I meant to add an attachment then it would be nice to ask me and in any case this should not prevent it SAVING!

There is actually an RFE for a warning in such cases (bug 244455), but that is not implemented. You don't have a disfunctional extension installed for that?

You were right about an extension, I narrowed it down to:

  TB Change From and Fcc on Compose Extension 0.1.8

This is the latest an unfortunately as far as I know no other extension does this (wish thunderbird did), I'll have to live with the bug (although I will try to report it with the author).

Thanks,
Dennis
