Apache OpenOffice (AOO) Bugzilla – Issue 64151
Support SeaMonkey as an email client
Last modified: 2007-02-05 13:34:53 UTC
After entering the full path to SeaMonkey in the Internet->E-mail options box and then attempting to send an attachment (File->Send->Document as email), I get a dialog that says "OpenOffice.org was unable to find a working e-mail configuration..." In my terminal, I get "Unsupported mail client: seamonkey". SeaMonkey is the continuation of the (no longer active) Mozilla Suite and takes the same arguments as Mozilla (and now Thunderbird) does. seamonkey -compose attachment=/path/to/file
@ hi: Please review this issue.
Reassigned to requirements.
Please see <ooodir>/program/senddoc for the place where OOo gets the info for the mailing-apps from. If it really is identical to what mozilla accepts, then you can just append seamonkey to the mozilla-block e.g. make mozilla | netscape | thunderbird) read mozilla | netscape | seamonkey | thunderbird) and you should be ready-to-go.
bedipp - could you check whether my suggestion works as expected?
Created attachment 35621 [details] patch against OOo-sources.
type to patch and back to devel. No need to have this on requirements.
of @ obr: Please have a look.
@cloph: patch looks good. Do you want to integrate it or should I ?
Since there has not been a cws with module shell that is likely to be integrated soon, I just added this one to cws cloph03 and committed the patch. → fixed.
Hooray - QA works :-) asrail noticed that this only works when seamonkey is not already running. Some investigation reveiled that it is issue 28378 showing up again since seamonkey is not licensed NPL, but MPL. So the check whether it's possible to launch it using the --remote switch is not done.. Will change it so it checks for either NPL or MPL... envisioned target: 2.0.3
did the change.
Works with Seamonkey 1.0.1 if specify the script file (you may need to specify full path if a symlink to the script is in the path). With the Trunk build it already works even with symlinks, because of the way of threating remote commands while running a instance. So it will work the nice way with the releases in the near future. If your "file" program supports following (dereferencing) symlinks, you can add this option to the "file" call <ooo>/senddoc script (i.e.: change 'if file "$moz" | grep "script"' to 'if file -L "$moz" | grep "script"', where '-L' is the option to dereference symbolic links). If dereference symlinks is the default for your "file", it works just by using "seamonkey" in any version.
re-open for re-assigning.
Credits belong to who did the work ;-)
