Since upgraded to LO 6.1.0 onwards started facing the problem of documents send by email stopped working

Also post here mentions about a macro which sends email with PDF attachment using a email client as THUNDERBIRD, the basic issue is setting [ Libreoffice --> TOOLS --> OPTIONS --> INTERNET --> E-MAIL --> EMAIL PROGRAM --> browse & set to --> /usr/bin/thunderbird ] is not firing up THUNDERBIRD

BUT Geary works with same LO 6.1.2 [ Libreoffice --> TOOLS --> OPTIONS --> INTERNET --> E-MAIL --> EMAIL PROGRAM --> browse & set to --> /usr/bin/geary ]

Using Linux Mint 19

After upgrading to Linux Mint 19 + Thunderbird 60 + Libreoffice 6.1.2 ; Emailing through the macro suddenly started behaving strangely. The email body text generated through macro started appearing in Recipient email boxes in thunderbird and is not usable.
Setting up Thunderbird as email client [ Libreoffice --> TOOLS --> OPTIONS --> INTERNET --> E-MAIL --> EMAIL PROGRAM --> browse & set to --> /usr/bin/thunderbird ] in libreoffice is also not working; as it is no more firing up thunderbird.

I do not know what is going wrong , Also I dont know whether bug is in Libreoffice Or Thunderbird Or somewhere else.

But here is the finely working workaround ---
Solution is to use geary email client, Set GEARY as default email client in linux mint. Also set geary in libreoffice [ Libreoffice --> TOOLS --> OPTIONS --> INTERNET --> E-MAIL --> EMAIL PROGRAM --> browse & set to --> /usr/bin/geary ]

......... UPDATE ...........

Tested with Libreoffice 6.0.7.3 in Linux Mint 19 & with Thunderbird 60.2.1 (64-bit) --- And it worked charmingly as before !!!

So definitely Libreoffice 6.1.2 has the bug, strangely specific to THUNDERBIRD only ... as GEARY works in both version of libreoffice.
