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 15:02:09 UTC 
Description of problem:
When using the 'Send To' function from Evince using the Email method, evolution fails to open the file for attaching it to the message if the file contained spaces. Reason is that evince replaces spaces with '0' characters in place of escaping them properly.

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

How reproducible:
Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Install evolution and make sure it's selected as a default email client, you might also need some email account configured first.
2. In evince, open a file with a filename containing spaces.
3. Do File->Send To, select Email method, type in some address and press Send
  
Actual results:
Evolution starts up complaining it can't open the file for attachment:
(File name was 'sam ple.pdf')
Error dialog in evolution compose message screen:
"Error when getting information for file '/home/vhumpa/documents/sam00ple.pdf': No such file or directory"

Expected results:
Path string has the space characters escaped fine and the file attaches

Additional info:
Relevant terminal output from evince:

** Message: Mailer type: 0
** Message: Command: evolution mailto:"joestalin"?attach="file:///home/vhumpa/documents/sam00ple.pdf"
Comment 1 Marek Kašík 2012-10-24 17:04:11 UTC 
This seems to be fixed in nautilus-sendto-3.6.0-1.el7 and evince-3.6.0-1.el7. The PDF file is attached correctly.
