There are 3 levels at which this is an LO bug: (1) senddoc provides settings for claws-mail (claws|sylpheed), which work fine, EXCEPT that since apparmor was enforced, these settings only work if claws-mail is included in the apparmor settings
(2) xdg-email is seen as the default email application, but the coding in senddoc uses the 'mailto:' command format. The manual for xdg-email is explicit "xdg-email limits support to, cc, subject and body fields in mailto-uri, all other fields are silently ignored." This makes xdg-email with mailto: command format a bad choice for LO's senddoc. If the alternative command-line-style were used, with simple email addresses rather than the mailto: style, I think all would be well. It certainly works well for me from the command line. (3) the screen prompts for the setting of Tools-Options-Internet-Email are not helpful. Perhaps they couldn't be until senddoc works dependably for all reasonable email clients. Evolution, kmail, icedove, and thunderbird are given specific entries in senddoc; I don;t know how well they work - but all other clients must be a potential problem. The implication in this user configuration setting is that any email application should work. That simply is not so. I agree with Timur (#27) that a main problem in in xdg-email, but I can find no indication that its maintainers are likely to extend the capabilities of the mailto: option. In the meantime, however, LO could and should use the command option that does the essential job of attaching the document to the email. And then improve the Tools-Options email entry screen. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Desktop Packages, which is subscribed to libreoffice in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1803604 Title: [upstream] "Send -> Document as e-mail" in Writer / Calc does not work Status in LibreOffice: Incomplete Status in libreoffice package in Ubuntu: Confirmed Bug description: Description: Linux Mint 18.3 Sylvia Release: 18.3 LO: Version: 6.1.3.2 Build-ID: 1:6.1.3~rc2-0ubuntu0.16.04.1 In writer I have an open document. If I then want to send it: "File - send - document as e-mail" **Nothing happens** Same with send e-mail as open-document and word document. Only send with pdf opens at least the pdf dialogue. But then nothing happens. Path to thunderbird: /usr/bin/thunderbird Thunderbird opens if I use this path so the path seems correct. No error message received. Expect: Mail is opened and document attached. (which worked before) Update: Just checked in Ubuntu 18.04 and LO 6.06.2 There it works as expected. Will check my other system again. Maybe it just does not work on my other system.
