           Summary: Send file as attachment (xdg-email servicemenu)
           Product: kde
           Version: 4.2.4
          Platform: Mandriva RPMs
        OS/Version: Linux
            Status: UNCONFIRMED
          Severity: wishlist
          Priority: NOR
         Component: general

Version:            (using KDE 4.2.4)
OS:                Linux
Installed from:    Mandriva RPMs

I'd like to see a servicemenu to be able to "Send file as e-mail attachment"
from KDE file managers. There seem to be already some servicemenus for this,
and krusader also is able to do this.

http://www.kde-apps.org/content/show.php/Thunderbird+Service+Menu?content=19328

But as far as i can see they are for a more specialised purpose, either bound
to a particular mail client or using weird ways to achieve the goal.

This is my mockup for the servicemenu, it uses xdg-email to be desktop-agnostic
and to use the email client which the user defined.

# syntax abstracted, needs to be worked out

Would be nice to see this integrated into kdebase-workspace.
