I really like Thunderbird, except at various times when I respond to a message there will be a popup that says Attaching. I've waited as long as 20 minutes and it just hangs there. The email I'm responding to can be long or short, that doesn't seem to make a difference. It can be one email or a number in email I'm responding to. There is never an attachment on these emails. I have not found a way to get around this problem. To respond, I have to send a separate email which, of course, loses the chain of correspondence that is needed. Has anyone had this problem and found a way around it? Thanks for your help.

That sounds like McAfee anti virus at it's best.

Have you tried disabling your anti virus from scanning email attachments, or all email?

I use Avast for my anti-virus and have for years. It is set to NOT scan outgoing emails. I only have this problem with outgoing emails. The problem does not occur with every outgoing email. It only happens 5 or 6 times per week but it is still very aggravating.
