Sure, will do it later. Meanwhile I found a few errors in my patch, so anybody trying it out, please use the new one attached below.
** Patch added: "xdg-email.diff" https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/xdg-utils/+bug/1823689/+attachment/5254094/+files/xdg-email.diff -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Desktop Packages, which is subscribed to xdg-utils in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1823689 Title: xdg-email fails to attach filesnames with a comma "," to thunderbird Status in xdg-utils package in Ubuntu: New Bug description: When attaching a file to Thunderbird using xdg-email, it passes the full path to Thunderbird, as possible with TB3+. However, the syntax of TB uses the comma "," as filename separator. If a filename already contains a comma, Thunderbird will not find it and fails to attach it. This could probably be fixed in Thunderbird, but would require them to change their command line syntax which is a big change. A different solution is to change from the "full path" syntax to "file://<path>" using a full URL-encodeing? Example: the file is located at "/home/someuser/file, name.txt" Calling xdg-email with "xdg-email --attach '/home/someuser/file, name.txt'" will produce (XDG_UTILS_DEBUG_LEVEL=1) /usr/lib/thunderbird/thunderbird.sh -compose "attachment='/home/someuser/file, name.txt'" And Thunderbird expects two files now, one "/home/someuser/file" and the other "name.txt". Instead /usr/lib/thunderbird/thunderbird.sh -compose "attachment='file///home/someuser/file%2C%20name.txt'" works. As it turned out, not much needs to be changed. I created a crude patch to change from "file name scheme" to "uri scheme" against the version below with (for me) solves the issue. Note that I'm not a bash expert, so the solution might give room for improvement.
