--- Comment #28 from Bernard Moreton <[email protected]> --- 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 are receiving this mail because: You are the assignee for the bug.
