Update:
Below in a code block formatting you will find the original post.

The issue described in the original post is inaccurate. What I have actually discovered is that Claws Mail is not simply sending out multiple messages in parts, rather what it is doing is saving an automatic draft in the "Sent" folder. This, on Gmail, looks like it has been sent multiple times, though this is simply not the case.

I have tried several fixes to resolve this issue, though nothing seems to be working. Again, I will update this post as soon as I find a true fix to the issue.

Original Post:

While running the Compiz standalone desktop still, I have noticed a
SEVERE issue with Claws Mail.

The issue is this:
If I send a large e-mail, it gets chopped up into a multitude of
pieces. I had one e-mail that was a few paragraphs long and it got
split into 13 emails being sent out. All of them were the same as the
previous one, only with a few more lines of the outgoing text added. I
also noticed that the last email out was the only one to include the
attachment that I had attached to the email.

While not terrible for me, this was a HUGE issue, because I have been
applying for jobs through email, mainly using my Claws Mail interface
to Gmail. This means that the e-mails I sent out today no longer look
professional, and they also flooded the recipient's inbox.

I will update this post after I find out what is causing this issue.

Happy Hacking folks,
