libreoffice fails to add attachment to composer, bug?
On a fresh install of Ubuntu 14.04.1, with thunderbird 38.5.1, are revision of LibreOffice 4.2, LO 4.4.7.2 and LO 5.04.2 fail to attach documents from the File|Send|Email ... options. Thunder birds composer appears, with the correct subject line, but the attachment does not show nor is it transmitted.
I have another machine running LO 4.4.7.2 and TB 38.5.1 on Ubuntu 12.04.3 works as expected. The Nautilus context menu "Send" option has failed too but may be unrelated.

After further research I found that in recent releases for LibreOffice, the debian packaging is improperly configured. Luckily there is a quick fix. Tools |Options |Intenet |Email Enter "thunderbird" in the input box provided for the email programme. LO should behave correctly after that.

I would guess related issues.

It seems unlikely, Note the same versions of LO and TB work fine on Ubuntu 12.04. The problem may be in MAPI or its equivalent. As a user i have know way of knowing which of the three moving parts is off contract.

As a fellow user, neither do I. All I can say is it does not work for me, Libre office tells me it can find no working email configuration. My guess is it is somewhere in Windows MAPI, which is basically dead. Particularly on 64bit versions of their operating systems.
