Description

[Andy Powell]

User Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (Macintosh; Intel Mac OS X 10.6; rv:7.0.1) Gecko/20100101 Firefox/7.0.1
Build ID: 20110928134238

Steps to reproduce:

Opened/saved an attachment and then tried to delete the message.


Actual results:

Dialog box entitled "Confirm" appears and states, "The following attachments will be permanently deleted from this message: <attachment> This action cannot be undone.  Do you wish to continue?".  Pressing the "OK" button deletes/detaches the attachment.  The "Cancel" button closes the dialog box.  The message can then be deleted without a prompt.


Expected results:

The message should have been deleted without any prompt.

I get the same dialog box when deleting the attachment, but I don't get any prompt when deleting the message itself (after deleting the attachment). Try the upgrade to V 8.

The problem didn't present itself until the latest upgrade to V 8 (running on Windows 7).  If a message has an attachment but the attachment is not opened, the message deletes without any prompt (as expected).  The problem only occurs when an attachment is opened and then the message is deleted.  This behavior was not present in previous versions.
