2.0 on slackware (rpm2tgz worked quite nicely ;)

I have selected thunderbird as my email client. When I try to send a
mail via File->Send->email attachment everything works fine if tbird is
not already running. If it is running I get the "select a different
profile" dialog from thunderbird, which of course I don't want to do.


There is a text(xml) config file for all of the mail file tools supported. If you find that file you should see the command line used. If you then know what that command line should look like change it and enter a bug report to get it changed in OOo.




Can you give me an idea of where to look? "grep -Ri email /opt/openoffice2.0" shows up far too many references for me to look at each one. My Common.xcu shows:

<node oor:name="ExternalMailer">
<prop oor:name="Program" oor:type="xs:string">
<value>thunderbird</value>
</prop>
</node>

which would seem correct.



I think you are trying to fix the wrong program. You should be looking
to fixing how X applications are launched. Since you can email when
there is an existing instance of tbird but not invoke one, you might
like to try the attached shell script which is what I use and find it
works well.

If the script is not stripped by OO.org qmail, my apologies in advance.

Thank you, but there was no script attached.

I don't think (although I may be wrong) that it is a general X issue. Both kmail and mozilla seem to behave properly. It is only with tbird that I have this problem.

Thanks,
Brian

Look in your acupuncture mailbox.


I have not received anything from you in my mailbox. Can you paste the script into this email thread, or just the relevant bits, as other mail programs seem to work fine?

Thanks,
Brian
killfile or treated as spam. Nice.  The script is called htmlview and

PLEASE READ THE ABOVE LINE. The name of the script in srcrpm format is
there.
there are 2 scripts in the srcrpm. I tried running htmlview as you seem to be suggesting but all that happens is a mozilla browser opens. OO/tbird problem is unchanged.

one place you can get it as a srcrpm is
ftp://sunsite.auc.dk/mirrors/fedora/development/SRPMS/

If you have no luck with that try rpmfind.net or pbone.net.


I got the script (I assume you mean the one called launch), but it seems all about gnome and I use KDE. Where would I put it and how would I invoke it from OO?

NO!
No what? No I don't invoke it from OO or no you aren't talking about launch? As I said above, I ran the htmlview script to no avail.

/opt/openoffice.org2.0/program/senddoc seems to perform the check for OO and treats thunderbird and mozilla exactly the same. Yet mozilla works right and tbird works wrong.

/usr/bin/thunderbird checks as well, and works right if called from the command line or firefox.


NO your problem is local to how you have set up X and the script will
help you.
Ah, but how, that is the question?

Thanks,
Brian
