352342 - "Attach the source of this link to the message" check box needs rewording

Status: NEW

Sorry I didn't look at this before the new checkbox was checked in, but it's unclear from the wording of this checkbox what it actually does -- "Attach the Source" seems vague. Isn't it really attaching the destination of the link, rather than the source? It's unclear to me which state attaches a file and which merely inserts a link (as the user usually intends)?

I'd suggest any of the following:

     Insert the specified file instead of its link

     Attach the file indicated by the link to the message

     Resolve the link and attach the resulting file

Thanks.


Reproducible: Always
