thunderbird gvfs

[Cédric Jeanneret deactivated]

Binary package hint: firefox-3.0

Hi,

It seems that thunderbird doesn't use GVFS. Indeed, when i'd like to attach a file from a samba share, mounted locally through nautilus/gvfs, dialog doesn't show me network mounts...

Same behavior when I'd like to save an attachment to my samba share.

My workaround is to create a link in my .gtk-bookmarks :
"file:///home/user/.gvfs Fileserver alternative"

Bug #105088 is the only one with Importance assessed: Medium. It's also the oldest: more than two years.

I can report that the same behavior of thunderbird can be observed in openSUSE 11.1. This is not an Ubuntu-only bug.

Cheers, Anibal
