Hi The Fedora-Build of Thunderbird is broken since a long time and i would like to use yum instead of taraballs from mozilla.org I have a .desktop-File and a PHP-Script what makes the call to thunderbird running under KDE, it works perfectly with the original-tarball, but iwth the fedora-builds it results in a "attachment='file:///home/harry/.kde/share/icons/thunderbird.xpm'" in the To-Field instead attaching files :-( I wonder that nobobody uses context-menu for attaching files to emails... ___ [Desktop Entry] Encoding=UTF-8 ServiceTypes=all/all Actions=attachToEmail [Desktop Action attachToEmail] Name=Attach to e-mail Name[la]=Annectere ad e-litteras Name[de]=An E-Mail anhängen Name[pt_BR]=Enviar por e-mail como anexo Name[nl]=Verzend als bijlage per e-mail Name[es]=Enviar por correo Name[nb]=Vedlegg til e-post Name[nn]=Vedlegg til e-post Name[fr]=Envoyer par email Icon=attach Exec=~/.kde/share/apps/konqueror/servicemenus/send-file.php %U ________________ #!/usr/bin/php <?php $cmd = 'thunderbird -compose "attachment=\''; settype($_SERVER['argv'], 'array'); $set_comma = 0; foreach($_SERVER['argv'] as $file) { if(basename($file) != 'send-file.php') { if($set_comma) { $cmd .= ','; } $cmd .= 'file://' . escapeshellcmd($file); $set_comma = 1; } } $cmd .= '\'"'; exec($cmd); ?>
Created attachment 298795 [details] screenshot of non-reproducing this bug So, just to make some order from this very convoluted and obviously complex problem, you mean that running command thunderbird -compose "attachment=file:///home/matej/any2theora.sh" (which is at least I hope what your PHP script tries to do; I don't know PHP and I don't like it, so I have never learnt it well) so that running this command should open TB composer with the file attached? Well, it works for me. Do you have something more to add to it before I close this bug as WORKSFORME?
Or in less argumentative style -- what does running the above command does on your computer?

I have postetd two screenshots The bug hits only if thunderbird is running sending the command If thunderbird is started with a command like thunderbird -compose "attachment='file:///home/harry/php_error.log'" it works as it should be If i use the mozilla.org-Tarball there are no troubles _________ History of this: * There was a known bug in thunderbird 1.5.x * As thunderbird 2.0 beta was released i wrote the php-skript and depsktop-file * As fedora packaged thunderbird 2.0.x i tried the ditribution-build * Had the same error, becaue my mail-client is running all the day * Now we know whatever is buggy, it is only if the apllication runs I hope you can reprdouce and fix this My normal stard-command is "ksystraycmd kgtk-wrapper thunderbird" just for your info, does not matter at this time, but please test it also while trying to fix
I think it's already fixed in rawhide.
Can anybody fix this also in F8? This is a bug that has gone away upstream with the first beta auf TB 2.0.x and only the fedora-builds will bring him back - its enough to must make an own hack in kde because there is no context-menu "send mail" using the selected MUA, but if it does not work finally it hurts :-( I love Fedora, but such bugs in TB and the fact that some FF-Extensions (https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=432728) does not work while mozilla.org-builds have no problems is a big pain!
We can bundle it to some upcoming security errata...
The fix is in CVS and will be released with the next security update (thunderbird-2.0.0.13).
This message is a reminder that Fedora 8 is nearing its end of life. Approximately 30 (thirty) days from now Fedora will stop maintaining and issuing updates for Fedora 8. It is Fedora's policy to close all bug reports from releases that are no longer maintained. At that time this bug will be closed as WONTFIX if it remains open with a Fedora 'version' of '8'. Package Maintainer: If you wish for this bug to remain open because you plan to fix it in a currently maintained version, simply change the 'version' to a later Fedora version prior to Fedora 8's end of life. Bug Reporter: Thank you for reporting this issue and we are sorry that we may not be able to fix it before Fedora 8 is end of life. If you would still like to see this bug fixed and are able to reproduce it against a later version of Fedora please change the 'version' of this bug to the applicable version. If you are unable to change the version, please add a comment here and someone will do it for you. Although we aim to fix as many bugs as possible during every release's lifetime, sometimes those efforts are overtaken by events. Often a more recent Fedora release includes newer upstream software that fixes bugs or makes them obsolete. The process we are following is described here: http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/BugZappers/HouseKeeping
As this bug is in MODIFIED, Fedora believes that a fix has been committed that resolves the problem listed in this bug report. If this is not the case, please re-open this report, noting the version of the package that you reproduced the bug against. Thanks for the report!
