Status: VERIFIED WORKSFORME

(MailNews Core :: Networking: SMTP, defect)

Description

[Oliver Klee]

From Bugzilla Helper:
User-Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Windows NT 5.0; en-US; 0.9) Gecko/20010303
BuildID:    2001030308

If I use "Send Link" from the File menu, Mozilla becomes unresponsive for about
15 seconds and then returns a "Sending of message failed" alert. Retrying does
not help.

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Visit any URL, e.g. htpp://www.mozilla.org/
2. File|Send Link...
3. Send the link to yourself.

Actual Results:  1. Mozilla becomes unresponsive for about 15 seconds
2. "Sending of message failed" alert

Expected Results:  The link should get sent.

Sending other mail works fine.

works okay with mar02 commercial trunk build, will confirm results with today's
builds.

It works for me with mar5 commercial trunk build, but I see bug 70928 was logged
involving Send Page(which also works for me in the instances I've tried), so
there's something going on.

I reported the Send Page bug.  However, I tried doing Send Link on the same
pages that fail for me with Send Page and I could send it with no problem.

reporter: 
1.  are you using IMAP or POP?
2.  are you logged into mail (if IMAP) at the time of sending?
3.  is your mail window open when you are sending?
4.  what happens if you try this:
a.  send link.  
b.  compose window comes up
c.  copy the text in the body of that compose window
d.  from the mail window, open a new compose window and paste the link in.  
e.  send

Just some ideas to narrow this down further.

* I'm using POP.
* MailNews if open.
* During the time complete Mozilla is unresponsive, the Mail Compose window is
still visible.
* I cannot reprodruce it with mozilla.org, though with
http://www.textur.com/webdesign/ , the bug (sometimes) occurs.
* Maybe the bug has something to do with the subject containing double quotes or
other funny stuff.
* After copying the body to a new Compose window and using a different subject,
sending the mail worked. After pressing the Send button, I got a 5 second delay
with the Compose window still displayed. Usually, I don't get this delay.
