Do you mean the message was improved or the message do not appear 
anymore? Can you link please to the sources file where I can see the 
message. Let's see if I understand it. :D

That is the simple example:

     :PROPERTIES:
     :ID:       a7f2b708-d2f9-41d5-a263-d82540b10b23
     :END:
     #+title: test2
     #+date: [2024-03-10 16:42]
     Paragraph

After writing my first message I learned that there need to be a heading 
that files are attached, too. I don't understand why. So I assume the 
reason for the error message was that there is no heading in that org 
file?
But I would strongly disagree. An org file has a heading by definition 
even if it is empty. The heading string (#+title) might not exist and is 
empty but there is always an ":ID:". To my very(!) limited knowledge I 
would treat this behavior also as a bug. But there might be a good 
reason for this behavior.

I use Thunderbird. There are no other email settings. Never used Emacs 
with mails. I always wonder why debian-bugreport is able to send mails. 
:D
But copy & paste is good workaround in the first please.

Kind
