I have this issue. I think I might be able to shed some light: Run alpine with -d9 and look in the .pine-debug1 file.
11:51:44.256960 exec_mailcap_cmd: command=(soffice -no-oosplash --writer '/tmp/img-MSWORD-09433.doc' ; rm -f /tmp/img-MSWORD-09433.doc) & That's what it's trying to do to view the attachment. However, if I run soffice at the command line, it returns to the prompt right away. So when this is run from alpine, what happens next is the tmp file gets deleted before it can be opened and openoffice reports that it can't find the file. Not sure how to fix this, but maybe alpine needs to have an option to not delete the temporary file? Or can it be done in the mailcap? Probably not. This needs to be reported upstream. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/905468 Title: View attachment fails in Alpine when attachment is an image: image Viewer cannot find file To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/alpine/+bug/905468/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
