[Users] Can user trigger sending same mail twice at once ?

Yes it was also received twice.

ok here is how you can reproduce it:

Compose a mail with an attachment that need a reasonable time to upload, enough time to compose a second mail, also with some attachment (maybe that's no requirement though but it buys some processing time)

Send the first mail right from the compose window. When it went into the queue and starts uploading, compose the second mail and put that into the queue w/o sending.

Now back to claws main window, you see the first mail still sending, the second got queued. The special thing here is that the 'send all messages from queue' button now is just available, because you queued another mail. (Normally it would be inactive as long as queued mail is sending).

So, when you now hit this button, the following happens:

The mail which is still sending, will be send again (twice) in parallel, because it was the first in queue. After those 2 identical mails went off, the second mail uploads just as usual.

I think this is a very rare condition, nonetheless is could be seen as bug. I would expect, in such a situation, that 'send all messages from queue' would omit the mail which is already sending.

Now do i need to put that into the bugtracker or is it sufficient to have mentioned it here ? Because it really wouldn't be seen very often....

Cheers, Michael
