Simple Scan not sending mail

Bug description:
[Impact]
Simple scan is unable to send email with PDF attachments.
[Test Case]
1. Open Simple Scan
2. Scan a document in text mode (the default)
3. Email the document
Expected result:
Email client opens with attached .pdf file
Observed result:
Nothing occurs. Running 'simple-scan -d' from the command line shows an error
about trying to run the invalid command 'xdg-email--attach'.
[Regression Potential]
Low. Adds back in a missing space character that got dropped in some
refactoring.
Original description:
This is my first bug report so I hope I'm making sense:
Simple scan doesn't send mail when trying to send a scanned document.
Using simple-scan -d I get this error:
[+9.63s] WARNING: app-window.vala:1208: Unable to email document:
Failed to execute child process “xdg-email--attach” (No such file or
directory)
Looking through the code within app-window.vala on lines 1194 - 1196 I
see:
var command_line = "xdg-email";
if (type == "pdf")
command_line += "--attach %s".printf (file.get_path ());
I'm thinking there should be a space " " prior to --attach on line
1196.
