Is this bug fixed in Ubuntu Trusty 64 (LTS!) ? I'am still unable to send emails with their attachments from simple scan.
Thunderbird open up a new message but, but nothing is attached to it. Should I open yet another bug report? Will this bug show its ugly head every time Tbird is updated? What can I do to help ? Thunderbird 38.5.1 Ubuntu 14.04 xdg-utils 1.1.0~rc1-2ubuntu7.1 -- 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/515386 Title: No attachment when Thunderbird is set as default client. Status in Mozilla Thunderbird: New Status in Xdg-utils: New Status in xdg-utils package in Ubuntu: Fix Released Bug description: Currently, when thunderbird is set as the default email client, when simple-scan tries to open a new message using mailto: , a new message window is opened for thunderbird, but there are no attachment. This is probably due to Thunderbird who does not support attachment with mailto because it is considered unsecure, but still, this makes user experience very poor, as the user is left thinking "ok a new window opened, therefore the attachment must be somewhere..". And thunderbird is pretty popular. Fortunately this might be easy to "workaround". Picasa already did it using xdg-email script that I attached since its code show exactly what's needed. the run_thunderbird() function is the more important part in the file.
