But I apologize for my typo. well, could have been SendDoc.sh etc., for that matter.

Just add "kmail" or whatever you like there? What is difficult > there? 1. it is *undocumented* 2. it is out of (normal user) reach 3. it doesn't suffice to put in there 'mymailer', you need to figure out how the script is called, which args are handed over by OOo, what return code it is supposed to return. > No, wrong. There's no configs imported from OOo1 to OOo2. yep, sorry, that was 1st run of OOo's OOo2.1 over old OOo1 install.

While it can be handled much better, the OOo1 approach wins here - at least it's not that hidden. --><-- Anyway, I put a test script in place of that 'senddoc' and got the args OOo passes to the script, eg: --mailclient sensible-ooomua --from Name Surname <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> --attach /tmp/sv18g.tmp/sv1a3.tmp/filename where the ---from stuff appears only if any corresponding field in setup is non void. It would also set --to --cc --bcc --subject, though I'm unable to figure out where such header values should be set for the to-be-sent doc. Anyway, the --mailclient and --attach is all that suffice to know and make the senddoc a bit more useful. BTW, http://go-ooo.org/lxr/source/gsl/shell/source/cmdmail/cmdmailsuppl.cxx#252 seems the source of this helper: 251 // Retrieve the value for "Program" node and append it feed senddoc with it 252 // using the (undocumented) --mailclient switch 253 xNameAccess->getByName( OUString::createFromAscii( "Program" ) ) >>= aMailer; 'undocumented' by design? 264 #ifdef MACOSX 265 else 266 aBuffer.append("--mailclient Mail "); 267 #endif good to know when I'll upgrade OSX 10.2.8, hance OOo1->OOo2, as I'm *not* using Apple's Mail ... and following lines there in set the other --* stuff. My 1st workaroud to this bug was to write a /usr/local/bin/mozilla wrapper, so it carries a name to fool the smarty senddoc, but a possible fix to senddoc could be: --- /usr/lib/openoffice/program/senddoc.origc 2006-11-30 20:32:54.000000000 +0100 +++ /usr/lib/openoffice/program/senddoc 2007-04-22 23:39:07.000000000 +0200 @@ -351,9 +351,14 @@ fi ;; - *) - echo "Unsupported mail client: `basename $MAILER | sed 's/-.*^//'`" - exit 2 + *) # if user supplied fullpath to program, assume it's a + # (user's) program/script that knows how to handle our args + case "$MAILER" in + /*) $MAILER $@ & ;; + *) echo "Unsupported mail client: `basename $MAILER | sed 's/-.*^//'`" + exit 2 + ;; + esac ;; esac so, eg 'tkrat' would be 'unsupported' while '/usr/local/bin/tkrat' would be 'user knows'. A far better Makes sense? WFM anyway. A better way though would be to allow for a full program path + args, like the (TMP) (PHONE) for the fax. thanks -- paolo -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
