I thnk the problem may be at senddoc line 293, MAILTO="${MAILTO:-}${MAILTO:+&}attach="$(echo "file://$2" | "${URI_ENCODE}") My email client (Claws-mail) fails to handle the "file://" syntax, as do some other email clients. My suggestion (lines 269-276 of my proposed revision) was to omit the file:// (at least for xdg-email), so that the command then is MAILTO="${MAILTO:-}${MAILTO:+&}attach="$(echo "$2" | "${URI_ENCODE}") That then works; though I found it advisable to omit the ampersand in the mail command (can't immediately remember why, sorry!), so that that command became simply ${MAILER} "${MAILTO}" Version: 6.3.0.4 Build ID: 1:6.3.0-0ubuntu0.18.04.1~lo2 CPU threads: 4; OS: Linux 4.15; UI render: default; VCL: gtk3; Locale: en-GB (en_GB.UTF-8); UI-Language: en-GB Calc: threaded</pre> </div> <hr> You are receiving this mail because: <ul> <li>You are the assignee for the bug.</li> </ul> </body> </html>
