- How can I attach a file to an email in Thunderbird that is on a

denied type of error, like the file either isn't accessible in
Thunderbird, or is only shared from within the File Browser. I've also
tried going through Thunderbird, but there doesn't appear to be a way
to connect to a network share, only the local disk.
You can find the files through the Thunderbird Attach menu option by
browsing to your home folder (/home/alex, for example) and searching
for the .gvfs directory. You may need to hit Ctrl-H to show hidden
files in the dialog or Ctrl-L to edit the path. You can then navigate
to /home/alex/.gvfs/YourShareName/path/to/yourfilename.
