Re: launching wine application for mozilla mail attachments

Thanks,

I created the file, and clicked on my attachment. Wine does come up now
but the file is not loaded. Any thoughts on that? My file is this:

#!/usr/bin/env sh
/usr/local/bin/wine c:/windows/efaxview.exe $@

How do I get a wine application to run when clicking
on an email attachment.

	It is possible that problem arises because string "wine
c:/windows/efaxview.exe" interpreted like "wine\ c:/windows/efaxview.exe".
And this is of course lead to such error. This is bug in your application and not in Wine. As workaround try the following. Open "/usr/bin/efaxview.exe" in your favorite text editor (as root). Then paste to this file command to run your Windows application:

	#!/usr/bin/env sh
	 wine c:/windows/efaxview.exe $@

	Save it and close. Now execute (as root):

	chmod +x /usr/bin/efaxview.exe

Now you can use efaxview.exe command from the shell to run it. Simply provide this short command without spaces to your program to open mail attachments. Hope this helps.
