In this code sample (Linux, OOo 2.0.1):

oServiceMail = createUnoService("com.sun.star.system.SimpleCommandMail")
	
oMail = oServiceMail.querySimpleMailClient()	
oMessage=oMail.createsimplemailmessage()
files (0) = "file://..."
files (1) = "file://..."

oMessage.setAttachement(files())


The created mail (kmail show up) contain *only 1* attached file.
SimpleSystemMail (Windows 2.0.1) works fine with the same source code.

How can we attach more than 1 file to a mail on Linux ? is this a bug ? Should i
create a new issue ?

Hello,

I tryed it also on a Linux Fedora Core 4, with OOo 2.0.1 and 2.0.2 and can
confirm this problem.

Note : There is a bug with Thunderbird 1.5 (not due to OOo)

Here is the entire example (in Florent's example, an line was missing) :


Sub Main
	print "Start"

	' oServiceMail = createUnoService("com.sun.star.system.SimpleCommandMail")
	
	oServiceMail = createUnoService("com.sun.star.system.SimpleCommandMail")
	'oServiceMail = createUnoService("com.sun.star.system.SimpleSystemMail")
	
	if isNull( oServiceMail ) then
		print "Null"
	else
		print "Not Null"
	end if
	
	oMail = oServiceMail.querySimpleMailClient()
		
	oMessage=oMail.createsimplemailmessage()
	
	URL1 = "/home/pagalmes/cdcatalog.xml"
	URL2 = "/home/pagalmes/devdays.pdf"
	
	Dim files(2) As Variant
	files( 0 ) = ConvertToURL( URL1 )
	files( 1 ) = ConvertToURL( URL2 )
	'files (1) = "file://"

	oMessage.setAttachement( files() )
	
	oMail.sendSimpleMailMessage( oMessage, 0)
	
	print "End"	
End Sub

Any news? This has an impact for extension developers, resulting in extexsions
not independant from the OS (works on Windows, not on linux, Solaris...).

As issue 68596 is being corrected for 2.4, maybe this one could be also processed.

cn->pagalmes: this issue is used only for the test case for SimpleCommandMail.
If you have problems with the implementation (functionality) please file a new
issue. It is not possible for me to fix the implementation since I am not the
correspond developer.

cn : I just created issue 82660 to follow this.

Could this be thunderbird bug/feature dependent [as well]?

I run Thunderbird 6 and LO3.6 on linux mint here and when I 

thunderbird -compose "to=me@gmail.com,subject=LO3attachments,Body=Attached,attachment='file:///tmp/monkey.odt',attachment='file:///tmp/monkey-1.odt'"

then TB opens a compose window with ONLY the first file attached.

The syntax for this to work here is to put all the files comma-separated inside the ''s of attachment='':

thunderbird -compose "to=me@gmail.com,subject=LO3attachments,Body=Attached,attachment='file:///tmp/monkey.odt,file:///tmp/monkey-1.odt'"

this opens up a compose window with both here.

Can't really tell from https://developer.mozilla.org/En/Command_Line_Options which is supposed to be the right syntax...
