Details

Give the command in a terminal:

thunderbird -compose /path/to/file

A compose window is opened, but without the attachment.

This is printed to terminal:

console.error: "Missing window information when showing nsIHelperAppLauncherDialog: TypeError: aContext is null"

Arch Linux with TB 115.8.0 (64-bit).

This is a regression.

The syntax is: thunderbird.exe -compose attachment=/path/to/file. Maybe the behaviour changed the same as in bug 1877420.

Ah, so it was about dropping an undocumented feature :) Thanks a lot. This was actually also with a scanning application, gscan2pdf, but hacking the source of the script, so it uses TB instead of xdg-email! I probably tried that attachment= syntax, but need to adapt it more carefully for the script.
