Why don't you guys use thunderbird-branded-2.0.0.14 package on AUR ?
Because that is built from source with gcc-4.3 so will have the same problem.
Did someone try to remove the optimization flags from the mozconfig file already? I've read a recent blogpost from a mozilla dev about distribution changes to mozilla products where the default compiler flags should give the best results, as every part of thunderbird/firefox/xulrunner have specific compiler tunings, where an --enable-optimize in mozconfig will use generic optimization for the whole package.

That is about the only thing I haven't tried... From the upstream bug report (https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=426228) that does not appear to be a solution. I will set a build running now and report back tomorrow morning. Alper KANAT wrote:
the attachment problem occurs because of that it's compiled with gcc-4.3 ??
It seems so. See my research in the Arch bug report (http://bugs.archlinux.org/task/10455).
For those wanting to work around this while waiting for an official solution: gcc-42 package (i686): http://allan.mcrae.googlepages.com/gcc-42-4.2.3-1-i686.pkg.tar.gz gcc-42 PKGBUILD: http://allan.mcrae.googlepages.com/PKGBUILD (not x86_64 tested but I think it should work) This installs alongside gcc-4.3. add these lines the the thunderbird PKGBUILD then build... export CC=gcc-4.2 export CXX=g++-4.2 Or you can install gcc-34 from the official repos and try that. I can't upload a thunderbird build as the file size is bigger than googlepages allows (and I like mozilla branding which I can't distribute). Allan -- Allan McRae Arch Linux Trusted User
Once again, we came to a conclusion that thunderbird-2.0.0.14 should have stayed in [testing] for a while until it's stable enough to make it into [extra].. Alper KANAT http://raptiye.org Allan McRae yazmış:

Once again, this is a problem with thunderbird and gcc 4.3. It is not specific to thunderbird 2.0.0.14. Are you done with useless questions, comments, and suggestions? Either use the binaries supplied by mozilla, or rebuild yours using a gcc version < 4.3. It is that simple.

Well, I see that was a solution to the main problem. However, I still don't see icons beside my attachments with 2.0.0.14-2. Minor niggle, and at least the major functionally is fixed.
