Re: [Evolution] Hacking a PERL script so Evolution picks up files from Open Office



do something like

evolution mailto:foo bar?attach=/path/to/attach&subject=subject&attach=attachment2

etc.

You have to use url encoding as appropriate i think

Folks,

After checking man evolution and evolution help I come grovelling:

Is there a command-line argument that will get evolution to bring up a
fresh email composer window with a file automatically attached? In
scanning the patch site for Sylpheed (sorry), I noticed someone had
designed a PERL script to run from within Open Office that gets the
"File=>Send as email" function to work with something other than
Netscape. Since the script's author suggests altering line 29 to reflect
a user's path to Sylpheed, seemed to me it wouldn't be much of a stretch
to alter the path to evolution instead. Sylpheed takes an --attach
option. Does evolution have something similar?

Best regards,

Pete Spotts
