A bit late to the party here, but I get the same with Chromium on Ubuntu. I never have the same problem with Firefox though, and since I always get fed up with Chromium quite quickly and go back to Firefox it doesn't worry me. It will be interesting to have a play with the suggestions though. I've sort of assumed it is down to the way Chrome handles it tabs and sub-processes compared to Firefox - either passing off to another sub-process causing Mutt to delete the file, or the first process trying to access the file too quickly. I've always found the interface annoying on Chrome and, unlike many people I know, found it slow and a bit of a memory hog compared to Firefox! I'm running more modern hardware now, so perhaps time to see if that has switched the tables! -- Paul Tansom | Aptanet Ltd. | http://www.aptanet.com/ | 023 9238 0001 Registered in England | Company No: 4905028 | Registered Office: Crawford House, Hambledon Road, Denmead, Waterlooville, Hants, PO7 6NU
