SM Trunk Gecko/20080816002821 I'm filing this against SM, because it might be a front-end problem peculiar to SM, but it might also be a mailnews backend problem. The "Detach all" and "Delete All" menu items for email attachments are always disabled (gray), both in the context menu for the list of attachments in the message header page, and in the Message->Attachments menu (from the menu bar). This makes it difficult to delete large numbers of attachments on emails. This is a regression. Perhaps there's no regression test for this feature?

Today, I went back to the email that had this problem (could not detach attachments) and I happened to click in the header pane to the left of the attachment list box. When I did so, an interesting thing happened. The icon for a signed email appeared there, where it had not been before. I do not know why that icon did not appear until I clicked there, but that's what happened. So, then I searched for bugs about detachment from signed emails, and found bug 288700 comment 18, in which it is reported that detachment from signed emails is now disabled on the trunk. So, now I know the cause of this bug. And this bug is a complaint that it is no longer possible to detach attachments from signed emails. :(

This happens in Thunderbird as well here is the Ubuntu bug link: https://bugs.launchpad.net/thunderbird/+bug/303140
John: this is not a thunderbird bug (but a seamonkey one). For thunderbird see bug 288700. (And i think this should probably be duped too. The UI part is really such a tiny part of the work needed.
duping as suggested by magnus. it seems to me bug 288700 should be nominated wanted-tb3, no?
