It onlt happens when subject and mail body is empty.
actually it happens to me when i forward or send out message with the body and
header filled out but only after i use the address picker
it narrows down to forwarding and sending page, changing summary
Summary: Unable to send out a message after address picker is used → Unable to Send page/Forward message after address picker is used
Yes, when forwarding the msg, it doesn't send out if I don't change the subject 
or 
mail body at all. Once I set focus to subject or mail body, even w/o changing 
anything, I can send out. Same thing happens to a new mail compose, after using 
the address picker to fill out the To: field, if I don't do anything more to the 
window, I can't send out. But once I click on any field on the window, I can 
send out.
yes, i see that, i can click on the mail body and send the mail out ....but it
is rather a workaround the bug.
reassign to varada. Seems to be a focus/command issue

Varada this sounds exactly like that bug where logging into a mail server
prevented you from clicking on the mail toolbar until something in the window
had focus.  See http://bugscape.netscape.com/show_bug.cgi?id=3993 (sorry
non-netscape people who can't see this)

Varada do you think this needs to be reassigned to xptoolkit for focus issues?
Whiteboard: [Need info]
this is something that we have seen before and saari had a fix for this then. It
is certainly only the focus that is playing havoc here. Please do reassign to
saari/toolkit

So what is unique about the address picker that it kills focus memory?
So I fixed focus memory in my tree, but this still doesn't work. It looks like 
the act of inserting an address kills focus in the parent message compose 
window. That isn't my problem, the focus memory issue is.
Someone from mail want to explain to me what the address picker does 
to insert the address in the parent window? Something about that 
process messes up focus, or more to the point, removes it from the 
address field that previously had it.
Okay, this appears to have gotten fixed by the recent focus changes. Yeay!

using builds:  2001062108 on win98, mac, linux. I still see that clicking on 
send button has no effect when address picker is used. The work around as 
mentioned earlier in the bug is that after clicking in the body it then works.  
Sorry reopening this bug because I still see this.

Type a subject, type a body, press address book button, proceed. That works for
me. Were you trying to send a message without a subject and/or body?
So why is this a blocker? Who sends messages regularly without a body?
0.9.3 especially since I don't see how this affects the average use case

This scenario happens when you compose the mail first and then use the address
picker. In that case after you used the address picker and clicked Send nothing
is happening and the user wouldn't know that he has to click somewhere again to
enable the Send operation. 
those comments were intended for another similar bug, sorry about that. In this
case you don't have to compose mail ( so it's not the case of having no
body/header mail). This doesn't work in two particular cases : when you Send
page or forward the message ( presumably with the body)
I just tried this again on Win2K and it worked fine. What platform is this not
working on?
i am on Win2K as well and it is NOT working with 2001-07-24 build, using same
steps to repro: go to bugzilla page|file| Send page|; get a message composition
window ,click on the address picker; chose the recipient, Ok to dismiss address
picker; get back to compose window; click Send: nothing happens unless you click
somewhere on the widget ( using old profile)
Hrm, odd. If I compose from Send Page, I see the bug. If I just have mail open
and wack the New Message button, it works fine. The key seems to be moving the
cursor out of the address list, to the subject field for example, before hitting
the address book button.

That implies that inital focus for the compose window isn't quite right. That
isn't too surprising, we've had trouble with that window before.

Just tried again on win2k, and it looks like this might be fixed. A focus change
just went in that may have fixed a raft of bugs, so I have reason to believe it
is  really fixed. If you still see it with trunk, reopen with details.

Forwarding and send page using the address picker I was able to send.  Marking
this bug verified.  
Please reopen if you are not able to send on any other platforms if you use
address picker.
