Does anyone know how to configure openoffice 2.0.4 to use iceape to send email?

Try typing: /usr/bin/iceape -compose
Not quite I cut the above command and paste it in OOo The following was pasted * /usr/bin/iceape -composeReply With Quote * this starts the mail program but not the compose part of it. typing: /usr/bin/iceape -compose from the command line does work.

There must be a bug in iceape

I just tried it with just /usr/bin/iceape

It automagically opened a compose window with the OO document as an attachment

No luck here.:confused:

Weird. Can you try with a different email client? icedove, for example?

I have have purged iceape, reinstalled Mozilla that also does not work.

Forgive me if you've already tried this, but on my system the email compose window opens behind the openoffice document window, and there is absolutely no indication it's there, until you move or minimze the OO window...
