Description Felix Möller 2011-07-25 22:05:32 UTC 
Hi,

when I execute 
$ nautilus-sendto /tmp/thu/my\ test

The following happens:
** Message: Mailer type: 4
** Message: Command: thunderbird -compose "to='asd',attachment='file:///tmp/thu/my%20test'"

However this thunderbird expects a " " instead of the "%20" and therefore fails sending the mail.

There is a patch for this issue at http://bazaar.launchpad.net/~ubuntu-desktop/nautilus-sendto/ubuntu/revision/25

I could not find any information why this is not upstreamed.

Thunderbird is broken. Either it takes paths, or it takes URIs. Paths with 'file://' prepended aren't URIs.
(and I bet it works now, with the same code because Thunderbird got fixed)
