Status: RESOLVED DUPLICATE of bug 333511

(Thunderbird :: Mail Window Front End, defect)

Description

User-Agent:       Mozilla/5.0 (X11; U; Linux i686 (x86_64); en-US; rv:1.8.1.11) Gecko/20071127 Firefox/2.0.0.11

If an email has many large attachments (e.g., photos), 
deleting just one of them can take many minutes, blocking the mail client.

Even worse, if one selects several attachments and asks for their deletion,
multiple copies of the email are produced, in each of which one one of the
selected attachments have been deleted. Very weird, and takes even much longer :-(

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Have a message with many large attachments
2. Select several of them (using Ctrl + left click)
3. Right-click and request Delete
Actual Results:  
Deletion takes ages, and even worse, multiple copies of the email are produced, 
in each of which one one of the selected attachments have been deleted.

Expected Results:  
Efficient deletion of all selected emails within the current copy of the email.
