David Beswick (dlbeswick) wrote : "Send document as e-mail" fails to attach doc when using Thunderbird

1. Ensure Thunderbird is installed and open.
2. Choose "File/Send/Document as email..."
3. A Thunderbird window with a new email appears. The subject is that of the document's file name, but no document is attached.

I verified the document was really not attached by sending the email. The email arrived without any attachments.

This problem can be worked around by accessing "Tools/Options/Internet/E-mail" and changing "E-mail program" to "thunderbird". After making this change, the document is seen attached in the Thunderbird window.

Previously, the e-mail program was given as "sensible-lomua". I have no such program on my system.
