Package: xdg-utils Version: 1.0.2+cvs20100223-1 Severity: normal This doesn't work on my system either, but I think this is actually a KDE bug (at least here).
$ XDG_UTILS_DEBUG_LEVEL=99 xdg-email --body "$(printf foo\\nbar)" Running kmailservice "mailto:?body=foo%0D%0Abar" So, its calling through KDE, and the body winds up as "foobar", ignoring the newline. But if I run: icedove "mailto:?body=foo%0D%0Abar" then the mail has the newline as expected. Testing gnome-open, that works fine too. Just kmailservice seems to break it. Suggest the submitter run with XDG_UTILS_DEBUG_LEVEL to see what command is being run. -- System Information: Debian Release: squeeze/sid APT prefers testing APT policy: (500, 'testing'), (500, 'stable'), (100, 'unstable'), (1, 'experimental') Architecture: i386 (i686) Kernel: Linux 2.6.32-trunk-686 (SMP w/2 CPU cores) Locale: LANG=en_US.UTF-8, LC_CTYPE=en_US.UTF-8 (charmap=UTF-8) Shell: /bin/sh linked to /bin/dash xdg-utils depends on no packages.
