Status: RESOLVED DUPLICATE of bug 793118

(Thunderbird :: FileLink, defect)

Steps to reproduce:

The purpose was to send an e-mail with a big .pdf (14 Mo) attached to it by using the new function "File-link".
The .pdf is actually a samba shared file not on a the computer wich is sending the email but on our server. When I attached it and chose to "link" it, the link was created by our "File-link" service (we use "DL" with our own server : http://www.thregr.org/~wavexx/software/dl/).


Actual results:

Finally even if the link created was working well, the file was still in the email. Whatever the service used by the "Filelink" function (DL our "box" for exemple) the issue is the same: The link is created, pointing to the file uploaded on the server. But the file is still attached to the email. The result is that the email is to big and eventually leed to a failure notice.


Expected results:

Normally the file is linked and uploaded, the link pointing to the file appaer in the mail, and the file is not in the email anymore.
