Not detecting claws-mail on Linux Mint 20.1 nor in MX_19.4

Error; OpenOffice 4.1.10 "OpenOffice was unable to find a working e-mail 
configuration. Please save this document locally instead and attach it from 
within your e-mail client."

[cid:e2bc38eb-f122-40ec-b620-907f62c8a919]

is it referenced as "claws-mail" in a case sensitive manner,  not 
"Claws-mail""Claws-Mail" ect?

Thanks for testing!

So basically it detects Claws now...

Maybe we need to add some option in the script to start Claws detached?

As I remember correctly Release Notes for 3.4, 3.4.1 and 4.0.0 were
pretty much free style. Version 4.0 was a major release with big
enhancements, top of the list was the introduction of the side bar. In
the context of a major Release the statements that you reference made
sense as it was a major change to the UI.

Somewhere between 4.0.0 and 4.0.1 I developed the Template the we
currently use to generate release notes to give a consistent look and
feel as to where to find pertinent information.

I believe the information is covered, just in other sections of the
notes. However I am always open to suggestions on what could be added or
changed.

Regards
Keith

Thanks Matthias, i knew we had made that change just couldn't find it in
a quick perusal of the Release Notes.

As for the Template, it has been available as a Space Template on the
cwiki, and has been used as the basis of the Release Notes since Version
4.0.1 I believe.

The Template is available as a Space Template and can be invoked by
clicking the create button on the cwiki and looking for the Release
Notes template. Now that I think about it I will promote it so that it
shows as the top template in the Space.

It basically has the boilerplate text for the Note and asks you to for
the new version, previous version and what type of release and stores
those and inserts them where needed in the Note.

Keith

That was fixed with AOO 4.1.8:

Where can I find this template?

I don't think there was special reason. As you can see the the whole
notes are very different compared with the ones from today. Even in the
notes for 4.0.1 this text is no longer there.

So, it's just the normal thing: Time is going by and things are
evolving. ;-)

However, we could add it back if you think it's essential.


I will be setting aside time tomorrow after church to go through and
redesign the template that is used to generate the release notes. I will
then generate a dummy release note and send to dev@ and hope there is
more feedback on it than there was on the original.


that's fine. I'll have a look in any case. Maybe we can use this already 
for a 4.2.0 release.

I am all in favor and I am available to contribute. However, as you know, I'm 
not a designer. I am knowledgeable in image software and image file formats so 
I can hack images :)
Do you know any volunteer designer and/or free (Public Domain or similar 
license) icons that we can play with?
