How to launch email gui with attachment from command line???

Post by thuree »

Hej

I am using f-spot, and I would like to send an picture by e-mail.
This do not work with F-Spot, but works fine with Evolution.
(As you probably understand, I am using Linux (ubuntu) and gnome.)

I have two problems with Thunderbird.
1) The picture is not attached to the mail
2) If I already have Thunderbird activated, a new session is starting up, until it realize that another session is already running, and consequently quits.

*** Question 1

Apparently there is a "attach= attribute in mailto urls" which evolution supports.
Waikato Linux Users Group (http://www.wlug.org.nz/Evolution) wrote:evolution 'mailto:username@localhost?subject=moo&attach=file:///tmp/x.txt'

Does Thunderbird support this one?

*** Question 2

How can I get thunderbird to not launch a new instance of it self, if I try to send a mail from command line?

Thanks in advance
