updated description to add procedure, and results information. added upstream bug to this bug. Marked as confirmed since i was able to reproduce this bug.
just to add i have this attachment i was trying to send in $HOME/Documents/ not in temporary folder ** Description changed: After a few tests, it seems that thunderbird won't send an attachment using the OpenOffice UNO-Service com.sun.star.system.SimpleCommandMail when there is an non-ASCII charakter (german umlaut) in the path of the attachment location. Using the built-in OO-function "send email as pdf" everthing works fine (as the attachement is saved in /tmp without any special characters). Surprisingly thunderbird has no problem with files in folders with special characters that are attached to manual created emails (not using openoffice). + + + open a file with an Umlaut öäüÖÄÜ (like the file in comment + https://bugs.edge.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/mozilla-thunderbird/+bug/201655/comments/10 + + in OOo File -> Send -> document as email (with thunderbird/icedove in + Extras -> Options -> Internet -> email ) + + You will get a new message windows from thunderbird/icedove + + Enter a recipient and press send. + + + results: get error message 'Sending message failed. Temporary file /tmp/sv1g1.tmp/sv1g3.tmp/filename ä.pdf could not be opened.
