.. I had previously _incorrectly_ said:
Note that in our case there is only one path/filename, *so this
could be further simplified as follows*:
ATTACH=$(/bin/echo -e $(echo "$MAILTO" | grep '^attach=' | sed
's/^attach=//;s|^|file://|g'
)) #could also be
*This simplification only works if there is only 1 attachment.*
I now realize that xdg-email is set up for multiple attachments, even
though the man page I'm seeing doesn't mention this. So my first
suggestions for a fix still works. In other words, this works for one
or multiple attachments:
ATTACH=$(/bin/echo -e $(echo "$MAILTO" | grep '^attach=' | sed
's/^attach=//;s|^|file://|g' | awk '{ printf "%s,",$0 }' | sed
's/,$//' ))
I've tested this with one and two attachments, as follows:
$ xdg-email --attach /usr/share/nemo/actions/foo,bar/x
# one attachment file
and
$ xdg-email --attach /usr/share/nemo/actions/foo,bar/x --attach
/usr/share/nemo/actions/foo,bar/y # two attachment files
