Bug#420469: openoffice.org: email settings: undocumented, broken behaviour

Package: openoffice.org
Version: 2.0.4.dfsg.2-5etch1
Severity: important

hi,

OOo1.x used to have a mozilla-like panel to setup helpers
program. 
On upgrade to OOo2 only the emailer remained, but that
feature is broken 
now, and undocumented:

1. on fresh install, there's a misterious 'sensible-ooomua'
which is not
  documented anywhere in man/docs/help and, if avail it
seems a hook for
  evolution, which is not the emailer of my choice, and no
info is avail
  for configuring it.
2. if there's a program/script name borrowed from OOo1.x,
which *worked*,
  it may not work anymore, an error msg pops up, saying OOo
is not setup 
  for a 'supported' emailer ?!?

If it where just for point 1, fine - I'd just delete the
misty sensible* 
and put in fullpath to my emailer/script. 

But the real culprit is point 2: first, it doesn't work
(anymore), breaks 
user's setting/setup; second, and most important, what the
heck means 
'supported'? OOo should be neutral wrt helper apps - if it
knows exactly how
to pass args to a handful progs, fine (but may put maint.
overhead), like 
in OOo1 just offer such pre-defined entries (moz1,moz2,...)
but then there
must be a generic opt for the generic emailer/helper the
end-user wants to
use, which would be called by 

%  user-supplied-program-name/path 'path-to-temp-file'

which would do whatever the end-user needs/wants to happen
pressing the
send-as-(PDF)-attachment.

thanks
