wine users - Dec 2006 - launching wine application for mozilla mail attachments

I am trying to get a wine application to launch
when I click on email attachments.

The error I get is "The application you specified wine 
c:/windows/efaxview.exe could not be found"

How do I get a wine application to run when clicking
on an email attachment.

Thanks,

Jerry

	It is possible that problem arises because string "wine
c:/windows/efaxview.exe" interpreted like "wine\
c:/windows/efaxview.exe".
And this is of course lead to such error. This is bug in your application and 
not in Wine. As workaround try the following. Open
"/usr/bin/efaxview.exe" in
your favorite text editor (as root). Then paste to this file command to run 
your Windows application:

	#!/usr/bin/env sh
	 wine c:/windows/efaxview.exe $@

	Save it and close. Now execute (as root):

	chmod +x /usr/bin/efaxview.exe

	Now you can use efaxview.exe command from the shell to run it. Simply provide 
this short command without spaces to your program to open mail attachments. 
Hope this helps.

Thanks,

I created the file, and clicked on my attachment. Wine does come up now
but the file is not loaded. Any thoughts on that? My file is this:

#!/usr/bin/env sh
/usr/local/bin/wine c:/windows/efaxview.exe $@

Try this instead

#!/bin/bash
/usr/local/bin/wine "C:\windows\efaxview.exe" "$@"
