Internal error when sending mail without attachment

[Paul Wagland]

When trying to send an e-mail, I get a dialog box popup with the following message:

Internal error, unknown error 'org.gnome.evolution.plugins.attachment_reminder:attachment-reminder' requested

This does have 'do not show this again' option, but no yes/no/OK/cancel buttons. If I send an e-mail with an attachment, it works fine, and the e-mail is sent.

This only happens whtn the 'remind missing attachments' option is checked in composer preferences and one of the keywords is in the e-mail. One of those keywords was in my (corporate boilerplate) signature, and hence it was being triggered on all e-mails.

Thank you for your bug report. I will try it here, but we need to know your Evolution version.

[Paul Wagland (paul-kungfoocoder)]

Oops. I am not in front of the machine at the moment, but it is the latest gutsy evolution on AMD64. If you still need it, I can get a definite version tomorrow.

Confirmed behaviour on 2.11.5. Will look upstream.

[C de-Avillez (hggdh2)]

no bugs on this upstream. But... the attachment check plugin is new.

So I went and gave it a try under gdb. I decided to give it a fist run without breakpoints, and I was surprised to see a three errors being output -- exactly about the GTK dialog that _should_ be shown.

Ah well. So now we know what it is: the <_title>, <_primary> and <_secondary> tokens are missing an underscore on the end tokens: instead of (for example) </_title>, it is written as </title>. Cool.

Looked at SVN... this is already corrected. Looked at the Changelog for the plugin. Top of it says:

2007-07-10 Sankar P <email address hidden>

        * org-gnome-attachment-reminder.errors.xml:
        Fixed Marking for Translation bugs

So there. Marking as Fix Commited, should be available on next interim release.
