Needinfo - Sophie

Dear Sophie,

I have:
Linux Mint 13 Maya Mate 32-bit
LibreOffice 4.2.2.1
With the dutch UI en dutch help.
Email client Thuderbird 24.3.0

I edited a spreadsheet and choose to send it with an email as a 
Microsoft Excel attachment .
Left menu, send file (don't know exact because I have the dutch version)
Choosing this, it did not start my Thunderbird email but Google Chrome 
Versie 33.0.1750.152
I also have installed Chromium and Firefox.

Kinds regards,

Jan van Niel

LO uses a shell script senddoc, next to soffice.bin in the program directory, to actually invoke the mail program.  If you add the following two lines

set -x
echo "senddoc <$@>" 1>&2

directly after the first line ("#!/bin/sh") of that program/senddoc script, and run LO from a shell like

  soffice 2>log.txt

do the "Send as E-mail" steps, terminate LO, and attach the generated log.txt file here, that might be a quick way to get a better idea what's going wrong for you.

Stephan,
Coming from DOS > Windows > WindowsXP > Linux now and I enjoy it.
Did my best.
The log.txt file is attached.
Glad to hear from you.

You have probably not specified a mail program to use in LibreOffice at "Tools - Options... - Internet - E-mail - E-mail program" (right?), so senddoc is called without a --mailclient argument; your MAILER environment variable is probably unset (what does "echo $MAILER" output in a shell?); so senddoc falls back to calling /usr/bin/xdg-open.  And for whatever reason (beyond the scope of LibreOffice), xdg-open on your system will open a browser when given a mailto URL.

Thus closing as NOTOURBUG for now.  Feel free to reopen if this is something that could be fixed on the LibreOffice end after all (i.e., you did provide a "Tools - Options... - Internet - E-mail - E-mail program", or have a MAILER environment variable that LibreOffice should handle properly).

Stephan.
Thx for the help.
This gave the solution.
Indeed not an BUG.
Kind regards, Jan van Niel
