Description

Steps to reproduce
  • In a file explorer, share a file.
  • K9 is proposed in the list of app for sharing.
Actual behavior
  • When K9 is chosen an new composition screen is launched but without the attached file
Expected behavior
  • The file is attached in the new composition screen

Note that selecting the same file from the composition screen works but not from the file explorer (Amaze here).
It was working before the 7 update.

Environment

Research direction

Start by reproducing the file:// share flow from a file explorer on the specified Android environment and trace the share-intent handling. Done means selecting K-9 from the share list opens a new composition with the shared file attached, while direct attachment from the composition screen continues to work.
