How reproducible:

2.New mail
3.insert attachment
4 [details]. file browser does not show not responds to typin in directories
which start with a period.
    

Expected Results:  some way too add files in directories named .XXX

Additional info:

Filed here http://bugzilla.ximian.com/show_bug.cgi?id=70135 but they
said: 

1) "yes there is, type the directory name yourself." which does not
work for me

2) "anyway, this is a gtk/gnome file dialog not a evo custom one, so not
our problem."

Although I am using KDE my /etc/sysconfig/desktop says GNOME.

Right-click in the list of files, you should get a "Show Hidden Files"
popup menu that lets you browse into those directories.  Do you?

Ok nice - works just dandy for me - sorry - user error.
Please close.
