            Bug ID: 426353
           Summary: "Send via Email" on a webdav/SMB share appends URL not
                    an attachment.
           Product: dolphin
           Version: 20.04.1
          Platform: Fedora RPMs
                OS: Linux
            Status: REPORTED
          Severity: minor
          Priority: NOR
         Component: general

SUMMARY
When using dolphin to access a private LAN file share via webdav, SMB or
presumably other kio connection types, it is not possible to attach a file to
an email via the right-click service context menu "Share -> Send via Email".
Instead a URL to the file is added to the body of the KMail email message.
However if you drag the file out of dolphin and into the body of the email,
when you release the mouse button an option is presented to attach the file or
add a URL into the email. Should the default for "Send via Email" be set to an
attachment, not a URL?      

STEPS TO REPRODUCE
1. Have Kmail installed and configured and then open Dolphin
2. Navigate to an SMB share and find a file you want to send in an email.
3. Right-click on the file to pen the context menu, and go to the Share menu
and select "Send via Email"
4. KMail composer will open and a URL will be added to the bottom of the email.

OBSERVED RESULT
A URL will be in the KMail instead of the desired attached file.

EXPECTED RESULT
An attached file should be in the email.
