Running TB 38,5,1 on Windows 7. When in Write and I hit the attach button TB freezes up (Thunderbird is not Responding). I have to close it and re-open. Only happens when I try to attach a File. Attaching Web page seems to work. Also If I have the file open (.Doc or .Pdf) and hit Share--> Email--> Send as attachment, it seems to work fine, it opens up a new message in Write with the document attached. I could just do it that way but would prefer to have it working the other way. any ideas??
