Trying to use the last few days' builds as dogfood, every now and then I see a
case where I click on send in the html compose window, I see messages on stdout
that say:
SendMessage from XUL
GenericSendMessage from XUL
Identity = [nsIMsgIdentity: id1]
attachments = file:[ ... ]
DetermineHTMLAction: noHtmlRecipients are [ ... ]

but the throbber never throbs, the message never sends and the window never goes
away.

Yesterday, it was about the time of the network flakiness that this started
happening, so it might have been a missed connection to the server.  Today, the
server seems fine, but one unusual thing I did was that the message was a reply-
all, I composed the message and added an attachment then went back and added
myself to the recipient list before sending.

I've seen this before.  Then, when I send again, the message sends.  I have 
spell check before send turned on.  Do you, Akkana?

I don't set spell check before send.  Subsequent tries still don't send the
message -- I've tried clicking send as many as ten times, and I always end up
having to give up and start over with a new compose window.

Akkana, are you still seeing this problem?

Comment 7

[Akkana Peck]

No, haven't seen this in a while.  I've been using mail all day today (it's
looking good!) and I'm fairly sure everything I've sent really got sent.

Therefore, I mark this bug as works forme.
