Description of problem: The email option for disposition of a scan in simple-scan-3.8.0-1.fc19.x86_64 causes evolution to crash. Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): evolution-3.8.5-2.fc19.x86_64 How reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1. Make sure evolution is your default mail client 2. Scan a document with simple-scan 3. Under simple-scan's File menu, select 'email' Actual results: Compose window opens with scan attached; evolution crashes. Expected results: Compose window opens with scan attached; evolution doesn't crash. Additional info: Not sure if this is a simple-scan issue or an evolution issue. Filed under evolution because that's what actually crashes. The crash does not produce an abrt report, for some reason.
Thanks for a bug report. I see it constructs the execution command like: mailto:?attach=/tmp/scan96022W.jpg at least for me, when I do not have any real scanner available (this is after fresh run of the simple-scan and clicking Document->Email). Could you provide a backtrace (with debuginfo package for at least evolution) of the crash, please? I guess you face [1], but I cannot tell for sure without the backtrace. Thanks in advance.

Yeah, well, now I can't reproduce it. It was crashing reliably when I filed the bug, and I haven't even rebooted or anything. Will follow up when it's reproducible again.
Thanks for the update. Maybe it really is the upstream bug I mentioned in comment #1, it isn't reproducible reliably too - it depends on "proper" timing. I'm closing this for now, but feel free to reopen, when you have the backtrace. I can compare it with the upstream backtrace and see how much it is the same.
