Please provide any additional information below.
- This issue is discovered when implementing thumbnails for text-ish formats .rst and .md: http://reviews.reviewboard.org/r/3454/
- It seems that when deleting a file attachment, get_thumbnail() in mimetypes.py is somehow invoked, and this leads to a 500 internal server error as TextMimetype tries to read a file that is closed (doesn't exist).
- For now, try-except blocks are set up for TextMimetype, ReStructuredTextMimeType, MarkDownMimeType to bandaid-fix the issue in order to prevent the thumbnails projects from blocking.
