There is a problem when sending mail without UI (blind send), the smtp connection fails. The blind send in this case is done from Mapi support Dll. The initial analysis has been that this could be because the body for the mail is empty. However the send mail with UI works even in case if the body is empty. Also it is possible that an application sends a mail with just a subject and no body. More analysis needs to be done to find a fix for this problem.

I asked this the other day in your simple mapi bug, and I'll repeat my request. Can you PLEASE send me your diffs so I can look at the code and your test harness so I can reproduce the problem. I can't debug what I can't see and touch! =) Thanks, -Scott

sure .. we have changed the xpfe/bootstrap code and i was planning to merge and post the patch. Also since i donot have mozilla write permission i will have to ask someone in my group to create the patch for me for all the new files. I created this new bug since i was asked to rather than tracking it down on the same send mail bug although the problem is related to it.

you can just send me the new files directly + a diff of the files you modified. Then you don't need to have someone else make the diffs.

QA assigning to esther and cc'in hong until I determine who's QA for this.

I showed Rajiv the changes he need to make to mapi so we the UI thread doesn't get starved. There isn't anything here for me to check in so marking fixed. QA: nothing to verify here. This was just a tracking bug.

Scot: THANK YOU for fixing this bug.
