Apache OpenOffice (AOO) Bugzilla – Issue 123684
Send Document As Email
Last modified: 2017-05-20 10:02:18 UTC
For some reason or another OpenOffice does not recognize the built in Mail application as a proper email client inside of Windows 8 and Windows 8.1. It gives the cannot find a working email client error. I have verified that the Mail is a working email client in Windows 8 and Windows 8.1. I have also checked all the file associations that OpenOffice uses to send a document as an email. Everything is correct and yet this error still persists. I have seen recommendations saying to install another email client but that is absurd and a waste of space and system resources when there is already an email client present on the system. Please fix this!!
Reproducible with "AOO 4.0.1 – German UI / German locale [Rev. 1524958 2013-09-20 11:40:29]" on German WIN7 Home Premium (64bit)", “historic” 4.0 User Profile used for all predecessor versions NOT reproducible with "AOO 4.0.1 – German UI / German locale [Rev. 1524958 2013-09-20 11:40:29]" on German WIN7 Home Premium (64bit)", “historic” 4.0 User Profile used for all predecessor versions, with Seamonkey 2.21. But for example see <https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=933254>, where the reason is in the mail client, not in OOo. No idea what that should have to do with Infrastructure / Mailing Lists.
