98635 - attachments area in compose window should not require a resize to insert more than five files

Status: RESOLVED DUPLICATE of bug 707424

(MailNews Core :: Composition, enhancement)

Description

[Scott]

Basically, when I was trying to attach about 11 files to an email, I found that
after clicking in the attachments area to attach the first five, I could no
longer use that method to attach files without resizing the upper section of the
compose window.  (I realize you can just click on 'attach' on the toolbar to add
another one)

Anyway, could the area around the word "Attachments" perhaps be made to be
clickable to add an attachment or something?  

I know this isn't exactly the most important thing in the world, but it is odd
that you can't keep using one way of doing something after you've done it five
times.  Initially I actually thought you couldn't attach more than five files or
something.  ::slaps himself::

I'm not sure if this is a change since this bug was filed, but: on adding 
several files, the Attachment box maintains a little margin at the bottom of the 
box, so that if you're scrolled down all the way, you can still click in the 
window at the bottom to bring up the Attach dialog.

sorry for the spam.  making bugzilla reflect reality as I'm not working on these bugs.  filter on FOOBARCHEESE to remove these in bulk.

forward-duplicating to bug 707424 which is more up to date and better structured.

Yes, Bug 707432 is around the same idea.
