Thanks for the reply. I have LibreOffice 7.2.7.2 version as 
loaded by default for my Fedora 35 and also have 
LibreOffice 7.3.4.2 downloaded from libreoffice.

With both I have tried a simple saved file with the word 
test in it. File is saved. Have Tools / Options / Internet / 
Email set to /usr/bin/WSENDTO (Thou I did also try using 
the direct path to program as well.).

/usr/bin/WSENDTO has this.
#!/bin/bash
echo $0 $1 $2 $3
/home/msetzerii/.wine/drive_c/PMAIL/Programs/WSENDT
O.EXE $1

Strange thing is that absolutely nothing happens. No box 
opens, and nothing in way of a error message is showing 
up.. But with my simple macro - running it opens the 
email client and has the document attached with no 
problem...

Simple Macro
Sub Mailto
Dim oDoc As Object
Dim Path$
oDoc = ThisComponent
Path$ = oDoc.getURL()
If oDoc.HasLocation() Then 
shell("/home/msetzerii/.wine/drive_c/PMAIL/Programs/W
SENDTO.EXE " &mid(Path$,8,100) )
Else
  Print "The document has not yet been stored"
End If
End Sub
 
Tools / Marco / Run and selecting it opens the email client 
with the file attached..

Not getting anything is what confuses me. Would expect 
something to show on screen, but nothing. The macro 
calls same program and takes the passed parameter, and 
does trim the FILE:// off the parameter.
