Description swulf 2008-11-18 05:04:24 UTC 
Please describe the problem:
The 'Send by Mail' feature of F-Spot (f-spot 0.5.0.3) under Ubuntu 8.10 running on a Dell Dimension 4600 does not perform as expected. I am using Mozilla Thunderbird (version 2.0.0.17 (20080925)) as my default email client. Using the 'Send by Mail' creates email but fails to attach image in Mozilla Thunderbird. Instead an email minus the image that should be attached is created.

Steps to reproduce:
a) Select a photo in F-Spot (highlight it with a left-click),
b) From the Photo menu, select 'Send by Mail',
c) Leave the defaults as set (Size: Medium),
d) Hit 'Create Mail' button,


Actual results:
F-Spot shows an 'exporting' dialog for a short while. Thunderbird then opens a new Compose window with the title 'my+photos', but there is no image attachment.

Expected results:
The image I selected would be appropriately resized and attached to the new email.

Does this happen every time?
Yes.

can you please paste the output of 
gconftool-2 -g /desktop/gnome/url-handlers/mailto/command

I suspect you have a custom command which is not correctly handled by f-spot. like in bug 472715.
Comment 2 swulf 2008-11-18 16:42:31 UTC 
Here you are:

$ gconftool-2 -g /desktop/gnome/url-handlers/mailto/command

/usr/lib/thunderbird/thunderbird "%s"
Comment 3 Maxxer 2008-11-18 17:29:18 UTC 
change that key to "thunderbid %s" or set thunderbird as default mailer via gnome preferences, which should set it accordingly. actual f-spot code is a bit strict over mailer name...
