Reassigned to HI.

I am running the same platform, OS and software version and am encountering exactly the same issue: 
after saving a writer document, I am unable to mail it, unless I close Writer, then attempt to resend using 
my Mail client.

I confirm tpf1952 comment.

My platform : OsX 10.5.5 (leopard), Mail 3.5 or Thunderbird as mail client ... and OpenOffice 3 final 
release.

The file/send command is working as long as it is a new document that has not been recorded... but 
the filename of the attachment is "noname.doc", "noname.odt" or "noname.pdf" !!! The software does 
not ask you to save the document before requiring the mail client and attach the document to it. 
Strange.

BUT, as soon as the document is recorded (or used with a file that is already recorded and opened again 
for modification), the file/send command is not working. Nothing happens.

Do you have spaces in your saved files?
Just see issue 95111

Yes, this is now assigned to this issue because in #9511 it was determined that the "send as email" 
feature is not working when there are spaces in the file name. 

This is the exact problem that I am having and confirms it with each new filename with spaces in the name 
and with existing files that have spaces in the file name.

Also interesting to note. If an existing file has spaces...and the file is renamed to have no spaces, the file 
still fails on the "send as email" button or menu command.

Hi everyone

I have the same problem but for me it work find with Mail (the Mac default
client) and a file name without space
But with thunderbird, the program start but no new mail writing windows open so
with not attaching document ...

I am testing the ooo-dev310m7 and the „File → Send → Document as E-mail Option" still does not 
work properly even when no spaces or other strange characters are in the file-name. When executed, 
now the  Main-Window of Mail comes up but not the required „New E-mail“ Window of Apple Mail.  This 
might seem a progress compared to older versions in september last year when nothing happened at 
all. But it is still useless to sending an e-mail with the attached document-file, because you still have 
to resort to choose the new e-mail-Option manually and attach the file manually as well.

In  a nutshell: It seems that the File-Send-Option executes the wrong command

Ok, this issue seems to be fan out 
To avoid this, please compare with issue 97607 & 95111
If you still have a problem with: 
- file name without space &
- Apple mail
then provide a dummy file which is named in that way where we can evaluate it.
Thanks for your effort.

On my mac, Send - Document as E-mail... works with Apple mail like a charm
Verified with OOo310m7_9393

Created attachment 61128 [details]
File with File-Send-Document as E-mail examples

@frieder2008: I see your problem but I can't reproduce it.
- I've installed the OOo301 by drag&drop on my desktop as OpenOffice.org
Did the send mail test and close office
- Then I've replaced OpenOffice.org on my desktop with OOO310m7_9393
Test send mail again and it sill works.

- How did you install your versions? 
- Do you have any extensions installed?

No, that's not a dub of issue 97607 I used a filename without spaces, and I get
no Mail Window with the File. but I'm not sure if it's a problem of OOo or of
Thunderbird. Because other people write in this issue that it works with Mail
(the default mail client for Mac)

.

It depends on what is set in Preferences… > Internet > E-Mail (using OOo MacIntel 3.1.1)l:
If it is left blank, Apple Mail will be used.
If the document was saved before, it will open an empty mail with the file attached, no matter if its 
name contains blanks. That's what we want.
If the document was _not_ saved before, Apple Mail will start or bring Mail to front but does _not_ 
generate a new mail at all.

If in Preferences… > Internet > E-Mail there is something like "/Applications/Thunderbird.app", then 
Thunderbird will start, if it is not running. Elsewhere, it will do nothing. This problem is discussed in 
issue 57043
