           Summary: Can not email images on Windows
           Product: kipiplugins
           Version: unspecified
          Platform: unspecified
        OS/Version: MS Windows
            Status: UNCONFIRMED
          Severity: normal
          Priority: NOR
         Component: sendimages
        AssignedTo: kde-imaging at kde.org
        ReportedBy: meldavid at acc.umu.se


Version:           unknown (using 4.2.3 (KDE 4.2.3), MinGW 3.4.5)
Compiler:          gcc.exe
OS:                Microsoft Windows (i686) release 5.1 (XP Professional)

When I use Default as mail program Thunderbird is open with a new message but
no images are attached. I have tried to look in the code an it looks like this
option uses the mailto-url. Thunderbird and most other (if not all) mail
programs ignores the attached part of a mailto-url for security reasons.

If I instead uses Thunderbird as mail program direct it fails with 'Failed to
start "thunderbird" program. Check your system.' On Windows one can not assume
that all programs are in the path.

One possible solution would be to offer the user the possibility to find the
program explicitly with a file dialog.
