curious, I've had a look to see what I've got in Tools / Options / Internet /

I've no idea what that is. I've used Thunderbird in conjunction with Linux and 
LO for many years and it just worked.

Sorry.

Thanks again for the quick response. Don't know if it is
trying something else. In browser I can type

I thought I'd try to find out a bit more about 'sensible-lomua' which is what 
exists by default in my Tools / Options / Internet / Email.  I guessed that the 
lomua was Libreoffice mail user agent and apparently that has been inherited 
from OpenOffice where it was 'sensible-oomua'.

There was a bug opened in 2011 by someone who had a similar problem:

https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/libreoffice/+bug/841184

Their solution was simply to replace 'sensible-lomua' with 'thunderbird'  
(without the quotes and without any path).

/usr/bin/WSENDTO has this.

email client and has the document attached with no
problem...


LO doesn't actually call /usr/bin/WSENDTO with the document's pathname 
as an argument (as one might expect).  What rather happens, for better 
or worse (see CmdMailSuppl::sendSimpleMailMessage at 
), 
is that LO calls its senddoc helper script (see 
) 
with lots of arguments, among them `--mailclient` `/usr/bin/WSENDTO`.


And that senddoc script then tries to guess from the given mail client's 
basename what program that is, and knows how to pass it along all the 
other arguments, potentially specifying the mail's to, cc, body, 
attachment, etc.  But that senddoc script doesn't know anything about a 
mail client with basename WSENDTO, so gives up and tries something like 
xdg-email instead, but which apparently doesn't lead to any success with 
your setup, either.

Re: [libreoffice-users] Question on send to email option in linux..

2022-07-18 Thread Philip Jackson 

Could there be a problem with your installation of LO?

I'm using LO Writer 6.4.7.2 on UbuntuStudio 20.04 and the Send to email works 
fine. Clicking the File > 'Send to email' opens a write window in my 
Thunderbird mail client with the document already attached.

[libreoffice-users] Question on send to email option in linux..

2022-07-18 Thread Michael D. Setzer II 
Was trying to get the option to work, but after setting the 
program for Internet email nothing  happened when I 
tried to send to email. No message No Error.

Created a macro that does seem to work, but is very 
basic. Just copied stuff I found on web, so some parts 
might be better. First writer macro I've done. Usually do 
macros in calc.
Found code getURL that gets path to file that must be 
saved already. Probable a command to get it without the 
file:// but found another thing to remove that.
Then it is just a matter of calling the WSENDTO.EXE 
program and adding the full path to the already save file.
That brings up the Pegasus Email client, and adds the 
document as an attachment. 

Sub Mailto
Dim oDoc As Object
Dim Path$
oDoc = ThisComponent
Path$ = oDoc.getURL()
If oDoc.HasLocation() Then
  Print "The Document URL is " & oDoc.getURL()
  uWithoutProto = Split(oDoc.getURL(), "file://")(1)
shell("/home/msetzerii/.wine/drive_c/PMAIL/Programs/W
SENDTO.EXE " & uWithoutProto)
Else
  Print "The document has not yet been stored"
End If
End Sub

Has print statements from original code, that could be 
removed. The WSENDTO.EXE is the mapi client that 
works in windows and works from firefox.  Surprized that 
nothing shows with libreoffice. 

Thanks.
