RHEL Engineering is moving the tracking of its product development work on RHEL 6 through RHEL 9 to Red Hat Jira (issues.redhat.com). If you're a Red Hat customer, please continue to file support cases via the Red Hat customer portal. If you're not, please head to the "RHEL project" in Red Hat Jira and file new tickets here. Individual Bugzilla bugs in the statuses "NEW", "ASSIGNED", and "POST" are being migrated throughout September 2023. Bugs of Red Hat partners with an assigned Engineering Partner Manager (EPM) are migrated in late September as per pre-agreed dates. Bugs against components "kernel", "kernel-rt", and "kpatch" are only migrated if still in "NEW" or "ASSIGNED". If you cannot log in to RH Jira, please consult article #7032570. That failing, please send an e-mail to the RH Jira admins at rh-issues@redhat.com to troubleshoot your issue as a user management inquiry. The email creates a ServiceNow ticket with Red Hat. Individual Bugzilla bugs that are migrated will be moved to status "CLOSED", resolution "MIGRATED", and set with "MigratedToJIRA" in "Keywords". The link to the successor Jira issue will be found under "Links", have a little "two-footprint" icon next to it, and direct you to the "RHEL project" in Red Hat Jira (issue links are of type "https://issues.redhat.com/browse/RHEL-XXXX", where "X" is a digit). This same link will be available in a blue banner at the top of the page informing you that that bug has been migrated.

Description Vitezslav Humpa 2012-07-26 14:42:55 UTC
Description of problem:
If you open some document in Evince, there is a File->Send To option. You can select 'email' as a method of deliver. If you have no client installed and selected in control-center:Details->Default Applications, you are still allowed to use this method, type a destination email address and press send, keeping you under illusion that all went fine and file got delivered while in reality nothing happened.

Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):
evince-3.4.0-2.el7.x86_64

How reproducible:
Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Have no email client installed, or selected in the control-center
2. In evince, go File->Send to...
3. Choose a Email method
4. Type in some email and press send
  
Actual results:
Nothing happens

Expected results:
You are not allowed to use the Email method in the first place as there is no email client selected in system for this to use.

This seems to be fixed in nautilus-sendto-3.6.0-1.el7. Email method is not listed in the combo box if there is no email client.

Comment 3 Michael Boisvert 2013-12-16 22:21:53 UTC
I believe the new Send To button only does email sending in the first place. 

I tested this in another (duplicate?) bug: https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=1037788

With no mail client set up: "Send To.." button is greyed out.
With client set up: "Send To..." opens evolution and sends successfully.

Switching to verified.
