I tested sending with claws-email now, previously I used mutt, and all is working, composer window is invoked and file is attached. I understood this bug was about claws-email but if not it needs a precision.
"xdg-email is a command line tool for sending mail using the user's preferred e-mail composer" so why would it be used in Tools/Options/Internet/Email I don't know. My understanding is that it's working implicitly, if you don't set Email than xdg-email is used to invoke some (from Default/Preferred Applications). In my case, when I deleted claws-email path from Email and not from the system, it used mutt. But I got no screen prompts for the setting of Tools-Options-Internet-Email? Please paste screenshot here. Mail from mutt was composed and sent but without attachment. I then changed system mail to claws-email and xdg-email invoked claws-email but without composer window. So for me, bug is that xdg-email doesn't attach file or compose mail, seen when when having Email empty ie. relying on xdg-email. Mine is version 1.1.2 from Ubuntu 18.04. But it should be that Ubuntu bug. And there "xdg-utils 1.1.3-4.1ubuntu1.22.04.1 seems to have fixed this". (1) seems Ubuntu bug. (2) I wrote my view on xdg-utils (3) I asked you to clarify, to have all here, but that would be another issue anyway. -- 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.
