Bug Description
Binary package hint: thunderbird
When I want to forward an e-mail and click on the attached original e-mail (which itself has an attachement) and I delete a file attached to it, the whole original message gets deleted instead of the attachement of the forwarded message. Another message will be displayed in the window which I suspect to show the message to forward. (It seems to show the next message in the mailheader overview.)
What I wanted to do in the first place, was to forward a message without an unnecessary attachement -- does't seem to be possible with this behaviour (bug?)
I'm willing to give further feedback in any form -- verbose describtion, screenshots, desktop vid session.
Regards,
Benjamin

I can not reproduce the bug. When I selected a mail with 4 attachments, clicked on forward button and the mail opens in a new window with the original mail contents pasted into the new mail's contents. There is a frame within the mail window that shows me a list of 4 attachments found in the original mail which are also attached to the new mail. When I select one of them and delete, only that selected file gets deleted but not the mail. I could delete all of the 4 attachment files and still the mail content remained same.
