Tried to email a 2.5MB attachment, thunderbird suggested I use file link. Never used it before, so went through the setup, chose Ubuntu one, entered my email address and password and it span for a little while to authenticate, and some stuff happened in U1 (I got a new folder for Thunderbird stuff). Then it failed to upload the image.
Got a dialog:-
"Upload error"
"Unable to upload Screenshot from 2012-09-23 00:59:08.png to Ubuntu One."

Tried renaming the file to foo.png and it worked. Tried again with a smaller screenshot (750K) with the default filename and it failed again. So I suspect it doesn't like the filename format with the colons and spaces and other silly stuff *
* I have long lamented that the filename format for screenshots we have by default is demented. You can't (for example) easily "scp" a screenshot file to another host (something we do a _lot_ without renaming it), tab completing it doesn't work.
