[Bug 1515288] [NEW] Thunderbird attachment from Samba share won't send

[Zeth]

Public bug reported:

Ubuntu 14.04.3 - Thunderbird 38.3.0

Samba shares are mounted and accessible via Files file manager.

Drag-n-Drop file from mounted Samba share into new Email attachments
area works.

Cannot send email due to:

"Sending of the message failed.
There was an error attaching smb://server/path/to/file. Please check that you have access to the file."

This bug report about what seems to be the same issue was opened in 2007 > https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/mozilla-thunderbird/+bug/105088
In April 2014 it was marked as "Fix released" - not sure what that means ... because it's not working here.
