it would be nice if they were nice under Linux! [warning: frustrated rant ahead] Last I checked, I still have to configure it in an annoying way... whereas, at least in this Ubuntu GNOME, in general, `xdg-email` seems to work fine to send an email with my default email program... (on the other hand, its --attach option seems to be broken with Thunderbird (thunderbird faux security and gnome-open failing to work around that?), and the GUI program won't tell you when the e-mail has been sent: anyway you don't know when you can delete the temporary file. Why do attachments have to be files? it's really annoying because then (1) you have to create a temporary file, not just e.g. a data: url, and (2) the attachment name has the same name as the file, so for uses other than darcs I have to rename the actual filesystem-file Oh well...) Also, even with the way I have darcs working with Thunderbird, it gets the XXXXXXs in the name of the temporary darcsXXXXXX file wrong for the e-mail program, so I have to go in the file browser to pick the right attachment instead. The main benefit I actually get from using 'darcs send's e-mail support (rather than -o to a file) is that it fills in the target e-mail address I should send to, fetched from the source repo's _darcs IIRC -- anyway, something I'd rather not look up and enter myself. Long ago I tried various command-line email things like ssmtp, which never worked out very well: and anyway I shouldn't have to configure anything like that when I have my settings already stored in Thunderbird(which unfortunately hoards them and isn't a very well-behaved program in general) -Isaac _______________________________________________ darcs-users mailing list [email protected] http://lists.osuosl.org/mailman/listinfo/darcs-users
