"bzr send" fails to attach file in Evolution

[Toni Ruottu]

I'm trying to use "bzr send --<email address hidden>"
Evolution opens up, but tells me...
"You cannot attach the file `%2Ftmp%2Fbzr-mail-GPry9l%2Fmsk-32.patch' to this message."
"Cannot attach file %2Ftmp%2Fbzr-mail-GPry9l%2Fmsk-32.patch: No such file or directory"

A patch file gets created at /tmp/bzr-mail-GPry9l/msk-32.patch
Communicating it's location to evolution is what seems to fail.

I was able to work around a similar error by sending the corresponding patch file by hand once the error had occurred. As far as I know the receiver had no problem merging it in.

Hi,

I think this is actually a bug in gnome-open, or something that
it uses, but I haven't had time to investigate fully yet.

Thanks,

James

https://bugs.edge.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/libgnome/+bug/294233 ?
https://bugs.edge.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/libgnome/+bug/291847 has
a workaround courtesy of Aaron:

    A workaround for evolution, thunderbird and kmail is to set
    "mail_client=CLIENT".

Toni, does that fix it, or is this a different bug?

In ~/.bazaar/bazaar.conf

Adding a new option "mail_client = evolution" to ~/.bazaar/bazaar.conf fixed the problem.

I think the problem is to do with urlescaping the filename or not.
