Here's what's happening:
When I go to the menu item "Places" and select "Home Folder" from the file
menu,
after a delay of several seconds a new window appears. It's got "Write" in
the
title line, my file:///home/username/ folder as a file attachment, and my
email
and username from a legitimate (but inactive) email account that's in my
Icedove page.
That delay of several seconds is the time it takes to load Icedove.
I've never used the sendmail and address book features of Icedove, so the new
sendmail page is expecting me to supply the appropriate mail-handling
servers.
What I really want, of course, is to see what's in my file:///home/username/
folder, and not to send the entire contents of file:///home/username/ to
anyone. Fortunately, XFE and PCmanFM both behave correctly.
By the way, the same pesky popup appears for just about any other entry in
the
Places menu, such as Desktop or Recent Documents ...
In the other thread, that same originating action brought up an instance of
the
disk usage analyzer. They couldn't figure it our either.
Thanks,
George Langford
