Last week I attended the 38th Chaos Communication Congress (38C3) in Hamburg, Germany as part of the KDE presence there.

@Konqi

Discussed with the K-9/Thunderbird Android team how we could potentially solve the problem that you currently can’t share the full unmodified email from a mail app to apps like Itinerary. There are ideas, we have yet to see whether they hold up against Android’s limitations, though.

@vkrause, do you know what the specific issue is? I ask because I’m fairly confident I’ve shared .eml files from alternative clients via com.android.intentresolver/.ChooserActivity, so it shouldn’t be inherent to AOSP.

[vkrause]

The challenge isn’t so much the sharing as such, but retrofitting it into the existing share action without impacting compatibility/interoperability with existing consumers.

@vkrause, is there a public discussion of this? I want to press you on it, but I’d rather not take your time on something so niche that ultimately I can’t assist with.

Apologies. Located it:
