Bug description:
The 'Send by Mail' feature of F-Spot (f-spot 0.5.0.3) under Ubuntu 8.10 running on a Dell Dimension 4600 does not perform as expected. I am using Mozilla Thunderbird (version 2.0.0.17 (20080925)) as my default email client.

Example:

a) Select a photo in F-Spot (highlight it with a left-click),
b) From the Photo menu, select 'Send by Mail',
c) Leave the defaults as set (Size: Medium),
d) Hit 'Create Mail' button,
e) F-Spot shows an 'exporting' dialog for a short while,
f) Thunderbird opens a new Compose window with the title 'my+photos', but there is no attachment.

Here is the system release info:
