Public bug reported:
I'm trying to use thunderbird from terminal -
thunderbird --compose attachment="file:///rete_notturna_bus_metro.pdf"
I use this instruction in a script that sends files to thunderbird.
In order to debug the script, I realize that the problem exists also in
executing instruction from terminal :
thunderbird opens a new windows with correct file, allows me to write
destination address and object of the email, then, when I send the
message, it fails saying that it is impossible to open the temporary
file (name of the attached file) and asks me to check permissions of
temporary folder;
I tried many times to adjust permissions of /tmp, but wasn't able to
find a working one; BTW, the instructions fails also if executed as
root.
Thunderbird works properly if used from GUI and not from terminal
Thunderbird works properly from terminal if no attachment is added
