If I run the same command by copy-n-paste from the command line, then a compose window opens, but there is no attachment. 3 If I change the xdg entry in senddoc --attach) MAILTO="${MAILTO:-}${MAILTO:+&}attach="$(echo "$2" | "${URI_ENCODE}") #MAILTO="${MAILTO:-}${MAILTO:+&}attach="$(echo "file://$2" | "${URI_ENCODE}") shift ;; and take out the ampersand in the mail call (may not be significant, but calls for other mail clients don't use the ampersand, and senddoc will then wait for completion) ${MAILER} "${MAILTO}" # ${MAILER} "${MAILTO}" & then senddoc completes properly, opening a compose window, with the required attachment. 4 Apparmor still registers two DENIED lines to kernel.log, one about the original file opened in Writer, and one about the .config file (see my Comment 7 above). These don't have any effect on the functioning of Senddoc, but they shouldn't appear. 5 The solution outlined above is not complete (1) it may have bad effect on Evolution and/or Gnome, which are linked with Xdg in the 'case' statement (2) the provision to cover a blank entry in Tools/Options/Internet/Email needs to be changed in line with the change in the entru for Xdg (3) though the output command /usr/bin/xdg-email mailto:?subject=errors_090715&attach=/tmp/lu3461d8a63c.tmp/lu3461d8a63h.tmp/errors_090715.odt works ok, it is not in accord with the format given in the man page for xdg-email ( --subject TITLE --attach FILE), which I find a little disturbing.</pre> </div> <hr> You are receiving this mail because: <ul> <li>You are the assignee for the bug.</li> </ul> </body> </html>
