559959 - Attaching pictures in e-mail changes format to "word" and encrypted

Status: RESOLVED INCOMPLETE

(Thunderbird :: Message Compose Window, defect)

Description

[Kathie Isenberg]

User-Agent:       Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Windows NT 6.1; en-US; rv:1.9.2.2) Gecko/20100316 Firefox/3.6.2
Build Identifier: Picasa

Pictures are saved in Picasa - when attaching to an e-mail they are changed to a word document, which is encripted and cannot be opened as a photo.  I have upgraded Picasa, Thunderbird and chatted with Microsoft - they feel the problem is inserting into Thurderbird mail.  

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. highlight photo

 2. Hit or drag into e-mail
3.changes into a word document



I cannot seem to fix this problem...the only way to send a picture is to insert it into a word document, then attach the word document into the e-mail...I cannot attach.

Can you delete the mimestypes.rdf in your profile (http://support.mozillamessaging.com/en-US/kb/Profiles) and see if it works better ?
