323550 - -compose attachment='file:///x:\path\file' doesn't work

Status: RESOLVED DUPLICATE of bug 316177

(Thunderbird :: General, defect)

Description

[thomas.mensak]

User-Agent:       Mozilla/5.0 (OS/2; U; Warp 4.5; de; rv:1.8) Gecko/20051118 Firefox/1.5
Build Identifier: Thunderbird 1.5 build 20060113

If i try to send a file from command line, attachment parameter is broken. The specified file isn't attached when the composer window opens.
Command i specify: thunderbird.exe -compose attachment='file:///c:\config.sys'
Worked well with thunderbird 1.0.7
Eventually new spelling in TBird 1.5?

Reproducible: Always




Mail Composer window should have opended with the specified file attached.

Well, '/' is the (only) correct path component separator for URLs.

Does 'file:///c:/config.sys' work?

(In reply to comment #1)

I have already tried the "/" within the path specification for the file to be attached and it doesn't work.
Maybe a problem in spelling the command line parameter? Is parameter "attachment=" still supported and working?
As already said it works in TBird 1.0.7

Hm, it looks like this is not working at all in 1.5, see bug 316177.
