I can observe the issue if I set the "Tools > Options > Internet > E-mail" field to "/usr/bin/thunderbird". But if IĀ unset the field (blank) then LibreOffice calls xdg-email, which figures out the default e-mail client as expected (assuming thunderbird is configured as your default e-mail client).
Calling directly /usr/bin/thunderbird is blocked by the libreoffice- senddoc apparmor profile. I'm confirming the bug, but it's unlikely that it will get much traction, given how easy it is to work around it by simply unsetting the e-mail client in the options. ** Changed in: libreoffice (Ubuntu) Importance: Undecided => Low ** Changed in: libreoffice (Ubuntu) Status: New => Confirmed -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Desktop Packages, which is subscribed to libreoffice in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1803604 Title: "Send -> Document as e-mail" in Writer / Calc does not work Status in libreoffice package in Ubuntu: Confirmed Bug description: Description: Linux Mint 18.3 Sylvia Release: 18.3 LO: Version: 6.1.3.2 Build-ID: 1:6.1.3~rc2-0ubuntu0.16.04.1 In writer I have an open document. If I then want to send it: "File - send - document as e-mail" **Nothing happens** Same with send e-mail as open-document and word document. Only send with pdf opens at least the pdf dialogue. But then nothing happens. Path to thunderbird: /usr/bin/thunderbird Thunderbird opens if I use this path so the path seems correct. No error message received. Expect: Mail is opened and document attached. (which worked before) Update: Just checked in Ubuntu 18.04 and LO 6.06.2 There it works as expected. Will check my other system again. Maybe it just does not work on my other system.
