Problem description: Steps to reproduce: 1. write a document, save it as testdocument.odt anywhere 2. choose File->Send->Document as E-mail Current behavior: Thunderbird opens (configured as default in Ubuntu) with the message composer, the mail title says "testdocument.odt", but the message body is empty. Same when choosing File->Send->"E-mail as OpenDocument-text" or "E-mail as Microsoft Word". No attachment is generated, Expected behavior: Document text should appear as message body, or as attachment. Operating System: Ubuntu Version: 4.1.3.2 release
Additional info: maybe it's not a bug in LO, but in Ubuntu, or in Thunderbird - I can't tell that from my POV.
The downstream bug in Ubuntu seems to be https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/libreoffice/+bug/1217191. Either the sensible-louma command is broken, or should be replaced. So maybe this is an Ubuntu packaging bug?
This is apparently a Ubuntu-specific problem. Neither TDF nor other distros' (e.g., Fedora) builds have a "sensible-louma".
nitpicks: its sensible-lomua and Debian has it too. ;)
Hi, I tried to reproduce using Debian 6, LibreOffice 4.1.5.3 and Mutt and the document is shown as attachment and sent correctly. Sophie
Hi, I tried to reproduce using openSUSE Tumbleweed, LibreOffice 4.1.4.2 (build id 410m0 build2) and Kmail. The document is shown as attachment, the subject is the file name.
So I tested on Ubuntu (without sensible-lomua) with LibreOffice 4.2.3 and gentoo with LibreOffice 4.1.4: - Ubuntu trusty/LibreOffice 4.2.3: "Send Document as Email" doesnt work, while "Send Document as OpenDocument Text" works - gentoo/LibreOffice 4.1.4: "Send Document as Email" doesnt work, "Send Document as OpenDocument Text" doesnt works For "Send Document as Email" I would expect the text body to appear in the mail body. That doesnt happen on both distros, so likely an upstream issue. For Send Document as OpenDocument Text" I would expect it to be attached, which happens just fine on Ubuntu/LO 4.2 without sensible-lomua. Limiting this issue on the "Send Document as Email" part ONLY, as it happens on multiple distros. Please file a separate bug for "Send Document as OpenDocument Text" if that also happens.

Writer "File - Send - Document as E-mail..." does create a mail with the document as attachment here (various LO versions, running on Fedora 20). It spawns program/senddoc, passing --mailclient, --subject, and --attach arguments, I'd suggest to start debugging there.
But if "Send Document as E-Mail" and "Email as OpenDocument Text" do the same, why do we have two menu entries anyway? Shouldnt we just kill "Send Document as E-mail and only keep the explicit "E-mail as $FORMAT" ones?
Or to put it different: Whats the difference between .uno:SendMail and .uno:SendMailDocAsOOo and for what do we need the former in Writer?
(In reply to comment #7) > - Ubuntu trusty/LibreOffice 4.2.3: "Send Document as Email" doesnt work, > while "Send Document as OpenDocument Text" works Hmm, most strange. I just retested 4.2.3 from Ubuntu after killing sensible-mua and cant reproduce anymore. Closing as NOTOURBUG as the problem likely persists on Debian, which keeps sensible-mua (also CCing Rene for that).
Neither does "Send Document as Email" nor "Send OpenDocument spreadsheet file as Email" work. The result is just an email with the file name as subject, but no document attached. Debian jessie/sid LibreOffice Version: 4.3.1.2 Build-ID: 430m0(Build:2) Icedove 31.0
I have pushed a patch that fixes the issue. The link to the patch is : https://gerrit.libreoffice.org/#/c/13786/
