Description Bastien Nocera 2005-08-23 14:47:47 UTC 
If Thunderbird is already running, launching:
/usr/bin/thunderbird -compose "attachment='file:///tmp/sve0o.tmp/noname3.sxw'"
will fail (this is what OpenOffice.org uses for its "Send as e-mail" functionality).

A simple patch below to make it use "xfeDoCommand(composeMessage,...)" instead
of "mailto()" in those cases attached.

Tested with:
/usr/bin/thunderbird -compose "foo"
/usr/bin/thunderbird -compose "foo"
/usr/bin/thunderbird -compose "attachment='file:///tmp/sve0o.tmp/noname3.sxw'"

Comment 5 Daniel Riek 2006-03-13 20:04:49 UTC 
A fix to this issue seems to be available and it is not unlikely that this
component will be included in a future Update release. 

Moving to the next Update, clearing all ACKs.
