Package: evolution Version: 2.26.3-3 Severity: important My application requires to open the default mail client and to compose a new message using a specific attachment.
In order to be desktop manager agnostic, I use the command xdg-email. When gnome is the running desktop manager, xdg-open calls gnome-open, and gnome-open call evolution. xdg-email encode the attachment pathname into URL, and gnome-open call evolution using the same encoded string, but evolution doesn't un-encode that string and cannot find the specified file. Example: $ XDG_UTILS_DEBUG_LEVEL=30 /usr/bin/xdg-email \ --attach /tmp/allegato5316366537919686103.TIF Running gnome-open "mailto:?attach=%2Ftmp%2Fallegato5316366537919686103.TIF" you may see that xdg-email encode the string and call gnome-open. Then evolution pop up and display an (Italian) error message: Impossibile allegare il file «%2Ftmp%2Fallegato5316366537919686103.TIF» a questo messaggio (It's not possible to attache file ... to this message). The error message detail says "file not found". I tried calling directory evolution using this mailto URI and I get the same error. The command I write is: $ evolution "mailto:?attach=%2Ftmp%2Fallegato5316366537919686103.TIF" Thanks, Giuseppe Sacco _______________________________________________ Pkg-evolution-maintainers mailing list Pkg-evolution-maintainers@lists.alioth.debian.org http://lists.alioth.debian.org/mailman/listinfo/pkg-evolution-maintainers
