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.
