Re: Error: Default pixmap attachement.png cannot be found

[Timothy Rost <timothy ieee org>]

I copied all the pixmaps from /usr/local/share/balsa/pixmaps to 
/usr/local/share/pixmaps/balsa and /usr/share/pixmaps/balsa.  Still get 
the same error when attaching a file.  Here is a copy of the terminal 
output when I run Balsa.  Notice how it also complains about 
balsa_icon.png in addition to attachment.png.

My copy is in /usr/[local/]share/pixmaps/balsa/attachment.png--you 
might try that path. And yes, not finding the icon is no reason for 
refusing to attach the file!
