emate issue with attachments

emate is not handling attachments via variable where the attachment has spaces in the filename (even when setting the variable escapes the spaces). It used to do so, so it appears something has regressed.

I could not reproduce this. Could you provide an example to help me out? I'm a bit confused by the “via variable” comment. Attachments are provided as simple command line arguments.

Benny,

Apologies for not being clear. I use Hazel on my Mac; one of my rules takes a downloaded PDF and as part of the processing, emails it to my wife, using an inbuilt variable for the attachment name.

At some point recently, it stopped sending the attachments. What I did to debug it was to do it manually using the -v option. Doing so I found, when the attachment name is stored as a variable, it behaves as I found (I have hidden my Gmail address):

From the command line:


Des-MacBook:Downloads Des$ /usr/local/bin/emate mailto -v -t xxxxxxxx@gmail.com -s "Test" --send-now web\ protection2.pdf
Telling MailMate to open: mailto:?to=xxxxxxxx%40gmail.com&subject=Test&attachment-url=file:///Users/Des/Downloads/web%20protection2.pdf&send-now=yes


Storing the filename as a variable:


Des-MacBook:Downloads Des$ att=web\ protection2.pdf
Des-MacBook:Downloads Des$ echo $att
web protection2.pdf
Des-MacBook:Downloads Des$ /usr/local/bin/emate mailto -v -t xxxxxxxx@gmail.com -s "Test" --send-now $att
Telling MailMate to open: mailto:?to=xxxxxxxx%40gmail.com&subject=Test&attachment-url=file:///Users/Des/Downloads/web&attachment-url=file:///Users/Des/Downloads/protection2.pdf&send-now=yes


I hope this clarifies the issue for you.

Thanks,

Des

Benny,

Were you able to reproduce this behaviour?

Thanks,

Des
