I tried to send a .lin movie file to a BBO member via BBO's internal chat/mail system, not knowing the recipient's email address.
I typed a message, entered the recipient's ID in the mail address box, and checked the box "attach movie". I could not find a browse button that enabled me to scroll and select the relevant movie file from the hard drive. So I clicked "send" expecting another dialog box to appear that would allow me to select the movie, but nothing happened, other than to send the message to the recipient. Heaven knows what movie was attached to it.

You need to open the movie window first by clicking on movie (in the lobby) and there is a load button to load a movie. I guess that movie is send.
If you were at a table i guess the movie that was active was send.

The software does not allow you to send a movie by BBO mail. Sorry.

Don't quite understand this. If the software does not permit it, why is there a check box inviting you to do just that?

You can attach a movie to a chat message, but not a mail message.
Might be better if we disabled "attach movie" if user types something into "leave mail for".
