Description Mike Kaganski 2022-11-20 09:26:14 UTC
There is Email configuration under Internet Options in non-Windows. Getting Started guide mentions that it's available both on Linux and macOS [1].

However, the help only shows the details when current OS is detected as UNIX (so, on Linux/BSD), but not for macOS (which is detected as MAC in the URL).

Compare:
https://help.libreoffice.org/7.4/en-US/text/shared/optionen/01020300.html?&DbPAR=SHARED&System=UNIX
https://help.libreoffice.org/7.4/en-US/text/shared/optionen/01020300.html?&DbPAR=SHARED&System=MAC

Note that I am not a macOS user, so I can't see if the page actually exists/works on macOS; so it needs to be checked, and either help be fixed to also show that on macOS, or the guide should be corrected to not claim that it exists on macOS.

1.	Running MacOS…
Version: 7.4.2.3 / LibreOffice Community
Build ID: 382eef1f22670f7f4118c8c2dd222ec7ad009daf
CPU threads: 4; OS: Mac OS X 13.0; UI render: default; VCL: osx
Locale: en-AU (en_AU.UTF-8); UI: en-US
Calc: threaded


2.	Opened 7.4.2.3-rel, and a Writer application.
3.	Created a test Writer document.
4.	Choose File>Send>Email document
5.	Apple Mail appears, with the test Writer document embedded in the email body. I have not previously choose the email program from the LibreOffice Preferences, LibreOffice>Internet> Mail; this was configured by default.

Result: No problems with MacOS.
