Description Franz Trischberger 2011-02-05 10:24:01 UTC

Version:           unspecified (using KDE 4.6.0) 
OS:                Linux

I use kontact to manage all my PIM. Until kontact-4.4.10, I used a ServiceMenu to send files as Attachment from Dolphin. After the Upgrade to kmail2, this does not work anymore.
"kmail --composer" says it is dangerous to launch kmail, when kontact is running. But I don't want to launch kmail, I just want to launch the Composer.

It would be nice, if the options passed to kmail could be handled correctly again.

Thx
Franz

Reproducible: Always

I just realised the "ksendemail"-executable, which works as expected. Could this be stated in kmail --help, too? Or better - when "kmail --compser" is executed, when kontact is running.

Comment 3 Elias Probst 2011-04-06 12:28:27 UTC

Another problem here: When setting KMail as default mail application through
Systemsettings' 'Default Components' KCM, the same problem appears, as 'kmail
--composer' is called then instead of ksendemail.

I think kmail itself should be able to handle this again, otherwise it would
just break to many 3rd-party applications accessing it in the usual way.

sergio proposed the following fix on #kontact:

diff --git a/kontact/plugins/kmail/kmail_plugin.cpp b/kontact/plugins/kmail/kmail_plugin.cpp
index 1e1b750..8a289c8 100644
--- a/kontact/plugins/kmail/kmail_plugin.cpp

+  : KontactInterface::Plugin( core, core, "kmail2" ), m_instance( 0 )

   setComponentData( KontactPluginFactory::componentData() );

It works as expected for me, but should be double-checked by a KMail dev for possible sideeffect.s
