            Bug ID: 16696
           Summary: Cannot create email from within Firefox
    Classification: Xfce Core
           Product: Exo
           Version: 0.12.11
          Hardware: PC (x86_64)
                OS: Linux
            Status: NEW
          Severity: normal
          Priority: Medium
         Component: General
          Assignee: xfce-bugs at xfce.org
          Reporter: abspack at posteo.de
  Target Milestone: Exo 0.12

When clicking the button in Firefox to create an email with a link of the
current web page I get an error. The email button can be configured within the
settings of Firefox (not about:config just the normal user gui settings).

This is the error message:

"The set mail program coudn't be started. Child process
/usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/xfce4/exo/exo-compose-mail couldn't be executed (file
or directory not found)."

This worked previously but now on Xubuntu 20.04 64 bit beta it's not working
anymore.

The program is located under /usr/share/xfce4/exo instead of
/usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/xfce4/exo. So creating a symlink worked:

sudo mkdir /usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/xfce4/exo
sudo ln -s /usr/share/xfce4/exo/exo-compose-mail
/usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/xfce4/exo/exo-compose-mail
