Public bug reported:

[Impact]

Alongside nautilus, nautilus-sendto is installed by default in Noble. It
is used when sending files via Nautilus' 'Email' context menu option for
a selection.

In contrast to a selection without folders, whereby Nautilus just passes
their paths to the mailer for attaching, when the selection to be mailed
contains a folder, Nautilus puts all the selected files in a zip under
the /tmp directory and then passes that as an attachment.

Snaps, however, do no have access to /tmp, which causes no file to be
attached[1].

The proposal therefore removes the 'Email' option when a folder is in
the selection

[Test plan]

[Regression potential]

Regressions would manifest in Nautilus' email integration, of which only
the context menu 'Email' described above is known to the author.
