[Bug]: Can't attach files after latest update

[dlahman]

Describe the bug
I just recently updated my prospect-mail snap and I can't attach any files. This worked as of last Tuesday, and the recent update may have broken the feature. Or maybe it's on Microsoft's side? Either way, I've tried a few different types of files (.pdf, .txt, .html) and they all fail to attach. The following is displayed above the Send button whenever I try to attach anything:

The following files couldn't be attached: myFile.txt. Please try again later.

To Reproduce

1. Create any file
2. Open Prospect Mail
3. Create a new email
4. Attempt to attach the file to the email

Expected behavior
Expected: The file should attach to the email draft.
Result: Error message stating that the file couldn't be attached.

Screenshots
If applicable, add screenshots to help explain your problem.

Desktop (please complete the following information):

I was encountering an attachment error in the prospect mail, and I managed to resolve it by downgrading the version to 0.4.0. This solution worked effectively for me.
Download this package:
https://github.com/julian-alarcon/prospect-mail/releases/download/v0.4.0/prospect-mail_0.4.0_amd64.deb

cd ~/Downloads
sudo dpkg -i prospect-mail_0.4.0_amd64.deb

I can also confirm this bug, thought it was due to a new exchange policy, but is actually from version 0.5.1, version 0.4 still can send files.

I also confirm this bug, same exact problem.

OS: Ubuntu 20.04.6 LTS
Installation source: Snap

Downgraded to v0.4.0 as suggested by @sedakrnt and now attachments work again.

I also confirm this bug on Ubuntu 23.04.

I also have this issue on Ubuntu 22.04 LTS.
I had to revert to 0.40

Same issue using Prospect Mail snap 0.5.1 on Xubuntu 22.04.03 LTS; will be downgrading Prospect Mail to 0.4 until this issue is resolved.

Is there any way to sign up to receive a notification when this bug gets fixed?

[julian-alarcon]

I found a possible solution for this issue, please try the latest 0.5.2 version available (.deb, AppImage, rpm, etc):
https://github.com/julian-alarcon/prospect-mail/releases/tag/v0.5.2

If you are using snap, you can also try the current beta channel:
sudo snap refresh prospect-mail --channel=beta

Based on a quick test, this seems to have fixed the attachment problem. Thank you!

Appears to work from Ubuntu 22.04.3 LTS running beta channel snap. Thank you!

[dlahman]

Thank you Julian! Really appreciate the fix here!

Is it just me, or my spelling check stopped working with this update, please other users try to see it works.

[julian-alarcon]

Still works for me @viggen66

[viggen66]

Julian spelling is working with your example after all, problem is on my side, gonna do a clean install, removing .config/Prospect Mail to see if is fixed, btw thanks a lot for this project, one of a kind, one the best to keep linux desktop alive.
