When i click the paperclip icon in mail to add an attachement, it allows me to search for and select the file as normal. However, after selecting the file and pressing ok, nothing happens. It does not attach the file at all. There's no indication that a file is attached and it is not on the sent email either. The only way seems to be dragging the file into the email body, but I do not want to do it this way.
