[Digikam-users] email+thunderbird

[Oliver Dörr]

Hi Gilles,

i just checked the code of sendimages.cpp and to be honmest i don't 
understand it. As far as i understand the sendmail has to follow the 
following algorithm for thunderbird, mozilla and netscape

1. Check if the binary is already started
2. If no start the binary (with -mail, not ncessary for tb, but it does 
not matter)
3. Communicate  with the running instance using -remote to create the mail

I can't find the check for the running instance. If there is a test, 
than it fails at least on my system due to the fact that tb is started 
with -remote

Could you check that? I'm not a programmer....
