Bug 497775

From the command line, nautilus-sendto launched twice : 

[axel@axel-asus ~]$ nautilus-sendto ~/foo 
Init removable-devices plugin
Init empathy plugin
** (nautilus-sendto:2611): DEBUG: check_for_accounts: No enabled accounts
Init pidgin plugin
Init evolution plugin
Init nautilus burn plugin

[axel@axel-asus ~]$ nautilus-sendto ~/foo 
Init removable-devices plugin
Init empathy plugin
** (nautilus-sendto:2617): DEBUG: check_for_accounts: No enabled accounts
Init pidgin plugin
Init evolution plugin
Init nautilus burn plugin

2 imap accounts are set up in thunderbird.

nautilus-sendto won't show a separate entry for each installed e-mail client.

Care to explain what "doesn't work"?

I first thought as a mis-defined preference, so I tried to set it again to thunderbird. The entry just remains as "Mail (Evolution)". Using this entry opens evolution.

What's the output of:
cat ~/.local/share/applications/preferred-mail-reader.desktop
and
gconftool-2 -g /desktop/gnome/url-handlers/mailto/command

[axel@axel-asus ~]$ cat ~/.local/share/applications/preferred-mail-reader.desktop

thunderbird %s

I don't know if it's related, but I first used evolution, then I switched to thunderbird. Evolution mail accounts have been deleted though.

It works fine here:

$ nautilus-sendto Makefile
Init nautilus burn plugin
Init removable-devices plugin
Init evolution plugin
Init pidgin plugin

** Message: Mailer type: 4
** Message: Command: thunderbird -compose to="Sébastien Aime <saime>",attachment='file:///home/hadess/Projects/Cvs/nautilus-sendto/src/Makefile'

What's the full output of nautilus-sendto when you reproduce the problem? Or are you still under the impression that the "Evolution" entry won't open Thunderbird?

[axel@axel-asus ~]$ nautilus-sendto ~/foo 
Init removable-devices plugin
Init empathy plugin
** (nautilus-sendto:4066): DEBUG: check_for_accounts: No enabled accounts
Init pidgin plugin
Init evolution plugin
Init nautilus burn plugin
** Message: Mailer type: 4
** Message: Command: thunderbird -compose to="axel.azerty",attachment='file:///home/axel/foo'

Indeed, a thunderbird mail composing window is opened.
The last time I launched it, evolution started (the evolution first run wizard in fact, since no accounts where defined)

I feel a bit like someone who reports a bug which isn't one :(
Anyway the label of the entry menu is "Mail (Evolution)".
Really sorry for the time loss.

I've removed the "(Evolution)" bit of the string in the upstream plugin. It will be in the next release of nautilus-sendto, and make it into rawhide shortly.

This should clear the confusion...
