You have been subscribed to a public bug: Binary package hint: nautilus-sendto
I've got Thunderbird set up as my default MUA in Gnome. (System -> Preferences -> Preferred applications.) When I right-click on a file in Nautilus -> Send To..., the attachment name shows up in an e-mail composition window. However, the name of the attachment is messed up. If I'm attaching a file called "Personal Learning Plan - 2010-2011.pdf", it gets renamed to "Personal%20Learning%20Plan%20-%202010-2011.pdf" with some sort of URL encoding. When clicking send, this results in the following error: "Sending of message failed. Unable to open the temporary file /path/to/file/Learning%20plans/Personal%20Learning%20Plan%20-%202010-2011.pdf. Check your 'Temporary Directory' setting." However, there's nothing wrong with this directory setting, as it works fine without using Send To. The workaround: 1) Right click on the attachment -> Remove Attachment. 2) Click on Attach, and then select the file from the file browser. 3) The file name will now be correct, without the URL encoding. 4) The message can now be sent. There is a bit of a discussion on this topic over at http://ubuntuswitch.wordpress.com/2007/07/09/howto-use-mozilla- thunderbird-in-nautilus-send-to-instead-of-evolution-for-attachments/.
