There are 3 levels at which this is an LO bug: (1) senddoc provides settings for claws-mail (claws|sylpheed), which work fine, EXCEPT that since apparmor was enforced, these settings only work if claws-mail is included in the apparmor settings
(2) xdg-email is seen as the default email application, but the coding in senddoc uses the 'mailto:' command format. The manual for xdg-email is explicit "xdg-email limits support to, cc, subject and body fields in mailto-uri, all other fields are silently ignored." This makes xdg-email with mailto: command format a bad choice for LO's senddoc. If the alternative command-line-style were used, with simple email addresses rather than the mailto: style, I think all would be well. It certainly works well for me from the command line. (3) the screen prompts for the setting of Tools-Options-Internet-Email are not helpful. Perhaps they couldn't be until senddoc works dependably for all reasonable email clients. Evolution, kmail, icedove, and thunderbird are given specific entries in senddoc; I don;t know how well they work - but all other clients must be a potential problem. The implication in this user configuration setting is that any email application should work. That simply is not so. I agree with Timur (#27) that a main problem in in xdg-email, but I can find no indication that its maintainers are likely to extend the capabilities of the mailto: option. In the meantime, however, LO could and should use the command option that does the essential job of attaching the document to the email. And then improve the Tools-Options email entry screen. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Desktop Packages, which is subscribed to libreoffice in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1748895 Title: LO unable to find a working email configuration Status in LibreOffice: Incomplete Status in libreoffice package in Ubuntu: Fix Released Bug description: Installed from PPA: ppa:libreoffice/ppa $ lsb_release -a LSB Version: core-9.20160110ubuntu0.2-amd64:core-9.20160110ubuntu0.2-noarch:printing-9.20160110ubuntu0.2-amd64:printing-9.20160110ubuntu0.2-noarch:security-9.20160110ubuntu0.2-amd64:security-9.20160110ubuntu0.2-noarch Distributor ID: Ubuntu Description: Ubuntu 16.04.3 LTS Release: 16.04 Codename: xenial $ apt-cache policy libreoffice libreoffice: Installed: 1:6.0.1~rc1-0ubuntu0.16.04.1~lo1 Candidate: 1:6.0.1~rc1-0ubuntu0.16.04.1~lo1 Version table: *** 1:6.0.1~rc1-0ubuntu0.16.04.1~lo1 500 500 http://ppa.launchpad.net/libreoffice/ppa/ubuntu xenial/main amd64 Packages 100 /var/lib/dpkg/status 1:5.1.6~rc2-0ubuntu1~xenial2 500 500 http://archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu xenial-updates/universe amd64 Packages 500 http://archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu xenial-security/universe amd64 Packages 1:5.1.2-0ubuntu1 500 500 http://archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu xenial/universe amd64 Packages WHAT YOU EXPECT TO HAPPEN: Should spawn an new Evolution eMAIL with attached ODF document WHAT HAPPENED INSTEAD: Error Dialogue: LibreOffice is unable to find a working email configuration.
