Description sohmc 2005-10-19 15:33:39 UTC 
Hello!

Before RC2, "Document as E-mail" used to save the current document in /tmp and
then attach it to my e-mail client (as long as it wasn't already running, but
that's another issue...).

Now, when you click "Document as E-mail", it brings up a new mail message but
does not attach the file.

I am not able to replicate the issue. Would be could if we could get some more
information about the problem and its environment.
What is the OS that you are running and what is your mail client?
And when you say, it just opens up new message window and does not attach, did
you make sure by sending and then verifying if its attached or not, or either
just try attaching one more file to the mail, and then see in the attachment
section if OOo file is attached or not. 

Sorry if I am sounding rubbish, I am asking this because, I have seen such issue
with latest Evolution mail client so wanted to make sure.

I'm running Fedora Core 4 as my OS and Thunderbird as my client.

When I clieck "Document as E-mail", thunderbird is activated and a new message
window comes up, as it should.  However, there is no attachment in the message
shown in the window, or is it attached after it is sent.

I don't run evolution so I wouldn't be able to check there.

hope that helps.

Hi,

could not reproduce using OOo2.0 final from the OOo site.

So closing worksforme.

I'm running the 2.0final and still does not work.  

fsk, what are you doing to make this work?  What's your mail client?  Is it open
when you attempt to attach?

Again, this is a feature that worked someone in RC2.  The only catch was that
Thunderbird had to be closed in order for the attachment to attach itself to the
message.

My sense is that this is NOT an OpenOffice issue as it is a Thunderbird issue. 
There's no command-line option to attach a file while Thunderbird is open. 
(refer to http://www.mozilla.org/unix/remote.html).

Leaving closed; bitter about it though.

Hi,

used thunderbird as Mail client and set the path to it unter
tools-options-internet-E-Mail.
