Description of problem: OpenOffice menu selection "File -> Send -> Document as Email" does not attach the document in the resulting email. Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): openoffice.org-1.1.0-16.6.EL How reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1. Set up email settings in OOo for mozilla 2. Use "File -> Send -> Document as Email" to send a document. 3. Observe lack of attachment Actual results: No attachment to email, just blank email. Expected results: New email with current document attached. Additional info: This appears to be the case on every RHEL 3 and FC1 install I've done. At some point I found a simple script on the net that causes this to work correctly, but users should not have to deal with this. A quick google search shows that for most installations of OOo this "just works".
As I might have expected, submitting a bug yielded a fix of sorts :-) I'm using RHEL 3 Desktop right now, which means U2 (I think). I had openoffice set to use "Mozilla 1.x (Option 1)" for the mailer external program. This is what failed. However, "Option 2" appears to work just dandy. I swear when I tried this before it didn't work, but that may just be FC1.
Should be fixed for FC3 and RHEL4 (openoffice.org-1.1.2-5) and possibly backported.
Fixed in 1.1.2-5 in rawhide, most likely will be backported as well.
Fixed in: RHEL3: 1.1.2-22.2.2.EL3
