[Pkg-xfce-devel] Bug#548166: xfce4-terminal: emailing by mutt from openoffice fails

[michal palenik]

Package: xfce4-terminal
Version: 0.4.0-1
Severity: important

openoffice file->send by mutt option is not using when xfce4-terminal is
x-terminal-emulator 
changing x-terminal-emulator to xterm or konsole makes this working

openoffice calls something like "x-terminal-emulator -e mutt -e 'set
from="my name"' -a filename" 

i assume the problematic parts are spaces in the arguments (after first
-e switch) which are inproperly handed.

(probably unproper) changes needed to make it work:

link x-terminal-emulator to /usr/bin/xfce4-terminal instead of
/usr/bin/xfce4-terminal.wrapper (the wrapper changes -e switch to -x,
probably has problems with spaces in argument -e, both terminal and mutt
are using -e option)

change senddoc (/usr/lib/openoffice/basis3.1/program/senddoc in my case)
mutt part
from 
${FROM:+-e} ${FROM:+"set from=\"${FROM}\""}
to
${FROM:+-e} ${FROM:+\"set from='${FROM}'\"} 

and save "${MAILER} ..." into a variable and then
call x-terminal-emulator with -e "$cmd" option instead of the value
itself.

however, i have no idea what is affected by these changes.
