There is no requirement to click on Update before sending a message since 4.1. See ~~Ticket 2848~~.

In imp/locale/en_US/help.xml, in the "compose-attach" entry, two essential steps are missing: - Step 3, hit "Update", is crucial for this help entry, because the page features a list of selected files plus an empty slot for the next file, so the user will get the wrong impression that those files will be attached to the message. (I have been trapped myself, several times!) -Step 4, hit "Send message" is essential for understanding the adjacent <tip>. Attached is a patch that will mend that help.xml file. The German translation had already the crucial step 3, cf. ~~bug #5114~~, but this has been removed recently, on account of the en_US help entry. I reckon, this translation will be restored and amended, as other translations will be, in due course. I could also concoct a patch for the German help file, if requested.
