When sending messages with attachments, I get the following error:

Sending of message failed. Unable to open the temporary file C:\Users\Rick\AppData\Local\Temp\moz_mapi\Document - 14101501 Dairy Queen Hastings - Created Nov 24, 2014.pdf. Check your 'Temporary Directory' setting. When I try to save it in Drafts:

Unable to save your message as draft. Unable to open the temporary file C:\Users\Rick\AppData\Local\Temp\moz_mapi\Document - 14101501 Dairy Queen Hastings - Created Nov 24, 2014.pdf. Check your 'Temporary Directory' setting.

There was possibly a Windows update a few days before the trouble.

I can't find 'Temporary Directory' setting and wouldn't know what to do with it if I found it.

You need to delete the document from the C:\Users\Rick\AppData\Local\Temp\moz_mapi folder.

These folders etc are in the 'AppData' folder which is hidden by default. You can make hidden files and folders visible.

I could find no document in that folder so I renamed the moz_mapi folder and after a restart that seemed to work. T'bird must have made a fresh one.
