XDG-email stopped working with Evolution on 9.04 (Jaunty)

[Kenny Schiff]

Binary package hint: xdg-utils

At some point the email as pdf function in gscan2pdf that uses xdg-email broke. No matter what I do, I get the following type of error when I try to use this function. We were able to isolate that this error happens when I invoke xdg-email from the command line. I’m running version 1.0.2-6.1 of the xdg-utils

You cannot attach the file `%2Ftmp%2Fh17t6kRlw9%2FyFtdIpxnYs.pdf' to this message.

Fix evolution (and Thunderbird) attahcments

This incorporates the patch from bug #13435 and also fixes this bug.

[Chris Mohler (cr33dog)]

Same here, same message. xdg-email --attach does not work with Thunderbird either. Looking upstream...

[Chris Mohler (cr33dog)]

OK - Here is a patch that fixes this bug, and also another upstream bug as well (attachments do not work with Thunderbird).
