Description Martin Stransky 2008-03-07 09:36:30 UTC 
+++ This bug was initially created as a clone of Bug #436410 +++

Description of problem:

Programs (such as openoffice) cannot use the thunderbird script to send emails
with attachments when thunderbird is running.  This is because the
/usr/bin/thunderbird script uses the mailto() remote command with -compose that
cannot handle attachments.  It would be better to use
xfedocommand(composemessage) instead.

Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):
thunderbird-2.0.0.12-1.fc8

Patch to do xfedocommand(composemessage) instead of mailto() with -compose
