Hi,
Dave's problem was not to get at the attachment from the result list, but
trying to 'Open' the message, then get at the attachment from there. This
failed because Thunderbird started in 'Compose' mode with the message itself
as a text attachment, instead of doing the right thing.
As far as I know, using 'Open' on an email does not work currently because
neither xdg-open nor any common mail client supports it. Are you able to do
it anyway ? Maybe I'm missing something.
To get at the attachment, you need to fiddle with the search until you can
see it as a search result. There will be something in a future Recoll to
make extracting attachments easier.
Cheers Jean, Dave
It doesn't matter which method is used. ;)
Both do work like a charm.
You only need to set the proper mime type association - "rfc822"
A reason why I mentioned the Xfce because it has a very convenient MIME
type editor - xfce4-mime-settings(xfce4-settings)[1], which can be used
for someone who is not proficient in direct editing MIME type file/s.
RFC # 822[2]
~/.local/share/applications/mimeapps.list
message/rfc822=mozilla-thunderbird.desktop
/usr/share/applications/mozilla-thunderbird.desktop
Exec=thunderbird %u
TryExec=thunderbird
But this is not a subject for the Fedora mailing list, I think we
should get
off it if you would like to pursue this further.
Au contraire, it's a good title and theme. Let the people learn. :)
And thanks for useful application.
