thunderbird for some emails when i reply and attach & send message the message hangs and never sends. if i cancel the message it becomes like a raster image, it is not possible to use any of the tabs. I have to delete the message and start again. i cant use the reply to send to the email, i have to create a new email copy all cc'c message and attachments and it will send. It has to do with the email i have received. regards eric

OK so i have discovered, this only happens to a small number of emails, if i reply to an email and attach a dwg file and a pdf file to the message will not send. if i attach the same dwg in one email than send and the pdf in another email and send it seems to work. only have to send 2 emails to the same person. a work around for a problem.
