If i send a document from within OpenOffice (1.1.4 and 1.1.5) thunderbird 1.5 message composer window is opened but the openoffice document is missing.
With Thunderbird 1.0.7 the openoffice document is there as an attachment (as expected)

How do you call TB from within OpenOffice?

I configured Thunderbird as "standart email program" within openoffice. This was done by selecting "extras" -> "options" -> "helper applications" (maybe different menu name in the english version. i use the german version and there it is called "Hilfsprogramme"...)

What I really want to know is what parameters OpenOffice passes to Thunderbird. Do you have the possibility to add parameters yourself? I don't have OpenOffice installed so I cannot try what you have set up.

If it uses -compose this is a dupe of bug 316177.

I don't know what parameters openoffice passes to thunderbird. There is no opportunity to specify any parameter. I can only specify path an program name for the email client program to be used. OpenOffice offers several kinds of email programs but i don't know what hides behind this different settings, espesially regarding different program options when starting the configured email client.

Unfortunately i don't know in detail how openoffice is caling the mail client especially what parameters are used within the start of thunderbird.

Assuming OpenOffice is configured correctly (I guess it is, if 1.0.7 works), this bug is a dupe of 316177, as indicated by Magnus.
