it does the same on my box when doing that: - create a new mail - attach a .xls to it - double click on the icon from the attachment bar it does the same - right click on it, open with works fine
It tries to run "app file:PATH", which some apps don't like. I've forwarded the issue upstream and I'm working on a patch for it: http://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=341482 ** Changed in: evolution (Ubuntu) Severity: Normal => Minor Assignee: (unassigned) => Ubuntu Desktop Bugs Status: Unconfirmed => Confirmed -- the attachment (.doc/.xls) doesnt open directly from mail client https://launchpad.net/bugs/44150 -- desktop-bugs mailing list [email protected] https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/desktop-bugs
