Email as PDF only wants to send mails with Thunderbird. Changing the settings does not work either. The settings for this cannot be changed. Kmail is installed for emails.

At the moment I am using a Debian Testing

Linux doesn't have a standard way to integrate with email apps like Windows and Mac do which means every Linux mail app needs specific coding, and I've only implemented Thunderbird support so far.

@cyanfish, is there a Freedesktop issue about that? If not, maybe it's worth opening so that you don't have to maintain different implementations.

Regardless, I would be surprised if that were true, considering that cpe:/o:kde:plasma:6.0.2's kcmshell6 kcm_componentchooser displays

%Y%M%DT%H%m%S%t-29

I would not expect it to exist were it to have no functionality, especially after their :6.0.0 update.

I believe that's only for things like "mailto:" links, there's no standard API for creating a draft email message with attachments etc.

If someone else wants to open an issue they're welcome to, but I don't have any illusions about the likelihood/timeline of coordinating a new API across multiple major Linux projects :)

@cyanfish, it seems that that's a consequence of https://x.com/jensvoid/status/1295724959709437956?s=20, unfortunately. Apologies.
