Email? #130

Closed coffseducation closed 2 years ago

coffseducation commented 2 years ago

Hello! Awesome software!

Issue: When I right click an invoice to 'Mail document' or use the arrow 'Mail document' nothing happens.

Expected behaviour: Right click an invoice to 'Mail document' takes the email address from KAddressbook and sends the email to client from Kmail.

Kraft defaults to use Thunderbird directly to send email.

What you need to do to enable your system defined mail client: In the Kraft settings file (that is usually ~/.config/kraftrc) find the [system] segment (or create one by adding [system] to a new line). Add the following entry to the system section: 

[system]
mailUA=xdg

That uses the utility xdg-email of your linux desktop to open the configured email client. You can test that on the command line. That should make Kraft invoke kmail.

Hello! Thanks for the reply!

I added [system] - not present and mailUA=xdg to the ~/.config/kraftrc

Unfortunately it is still not working.

I tested the command xdg-email in Konsole and it does open up a new Kmail send window. (working)

I tested mailUA=xdg-email and mailUA=xdg-open to no avail. I did a search for the command mailUA but could not find anything. What else could I try? Thanks!

I found this in .xsession.errors

Starting mailer: "/usr/bin/xdg-email" ("--utf8", "--attach", "", "Cathy Wong cathywong.xv3u6@simplelogin.co") xdg-email: file argument missing for --attach option Try 'xdg-email --help' for more information.

Indeed this is a bug which I fixed with the commit above. It will be in the next release.
