'File/Save As' produce only empty files

[H.-Dirk Schmitt]

Composing a new mail and selecting in the menu '/File/Save As' should normally save the composed email message to a local file.

This applies to the current xenial package: 3.18.5.2-0ubuntu3.2 and can be reproduced on several machines.

On some machines I'm using a 'no change backport' from artfull:
 3.26.2-1~ubuntu16.04.1~c42.ppa1 from ppa:dirk-computer42/c42-backport-gnome3

The problem isn't related to this version - so it seems for me to be solved (or hidden) in a newer version.
