Description Douglas Furlong 2005-05-20 08:11:25 EDT

From Bugzilla Helper:
User-Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (X11; U; Linux ppc; en-US; rv:1.7.8) Gecko/20050512 Fedora/1.0.4-2 Firefox/1.0.4

Description of problem:
When using the Mail Merge Wizard, the E-mail message option is grayed out.

There is a comment stating that Open Office was unable to find the Java Mail connection, and points me to Sun's website to find out more.

Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):
openoffice.org-1.9.100-1, java-1.4.2-gcj-compat-1.4.2.0-40jpp_18rh,  classpathx-mail-1.0-3jpp_1fc

How reproducible:
Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Go to Mail Merge Wizard in Open Office
2. Try to select the e-mail mail merge
3.
  

Actual Results:  Option is grayed out, and unselectable

Expected Results:  I should be able to select the e-mail option for mail merge.

Additional info:

Package version

openoffice.org-1.9.100-1, 
java-1.4.2-gcj-compat-1.4.2.0-40jpp_18rh,  
classpathx-mail-1.0-3jpp_1fc

I have tried this on both ppc and i386

Comment 1 Caolan McNamara 2005-06-02 09:56:21 EDT

indeed, interesting. Try editing
.openoffice.org2.0/user/registry/data/org/openoffice/Office/Writer.xcu and
change the "false" under EMailSupported to "true" and restart ooo and see how
much further you get .

Comment 2 Caolan McNamara 2005-06-02 10:40:16 EDT

Ack!, http://user-faq.openoffice.org/servlets/ReadMsg?list=authors&msgNo=7907

We need to implement a mail::XMailService to get mail working

Comment 3 Douglas Furlong 2005-06-02 16:26:15 EDT

Doh.

Does that mean you do not need me to try that fix you've mentioned?

I'm getting the feeling that this feature may be a while coming :\

Comment 4 Caolan McNamara 2005-07-05 09:34:25 EDT

Might not be too long, I've started and implementation, and it doesn't look
*too* hard. http://blogs.linux.ie/caolan/2005/07/05/email-mailmerge/

Comment 5 Caolan McNamara 2005-07-06 08:26:35 EDT

Submitted implementation upstream as
http://www.openoffice.org/issues/show_bug.cgi?id=51638
I'll build it for fedora now and see how it goes.

Comment 6 Caolan McNamara 2005-07-07 08:36:45 EDT

Available in rawhide 1.9.114-2

Comment 7 Douglas Furlong 2005-07-17 05:11:33 EDT

Heyah Caolan.

I've tried the latest build of open office from raw hide, and classpathx-mail
from main, and the option is still grayed out.

Versions...

[root@localhost ~]# rpm -qa | grep openoffice.org
openoffice.org-core-1.9.117-1.2.0.fc5
openoffice.org-math-1.9.117-1.2.0.fc5
openoffice.org-graphicfilter-1.9.117-1.2.0.fc5
openoffice.org-pyuno-1.9.117-1.2.0.fc5
openoffice.org-draw-1.9.117-1.2.0.fc5
openoffice.org-impress-1.9.117-1.2.0.fc5
openoffice.org-writer-1.9.117-1.2.0.fc5
openoffice.org-calc-1.9.117-1.2.0.fc5
openoffice.org-xsltfilter-1.9.117-1.2.0.fc5
[root@localhost ~]# rpm -qa | grep classpathx
classpathx-jaf-1.0-2jpp_3fc
classpathx-mail-1.0-3jpp_1fc


I know that it is not version 114 would that be a problem?

Comment 8 Caolan McNamara 2005-07-17 07:12:59 EDT

you don't need any classpathx stuff, just what you have installed. This is
probably because you ran it in the old OOo which didn't provide it. Try removing
your ~/.openoffice.org* directories and running it again and see if it makes it
become enabled ?

Comment 9 Douglas Furlong 2005-07-17 08:47:48 EDT

Deleting that directory made the difference, it is no longer grayed out.

I don't have time to test this just yet, but will try to some time this week.
