Opening attachment in Nextcloud Office builds malformed DAV path

[Karamelmar]

Steps to reproduce

Steps to reproduce

Req.: richdocuments must be enabled (Nextcloud Office with collabora Code in my setup)

1. Open a message with a PDF (or other Viewer-handled) attachment.
2. Click the attachment to preview it; Viewer hands off to Nextcloud Office (richdocuments).
3. Request fails with "Failed to generate token for file".

Server log shows

PROPFIND /remote.php/dav/files/https%3A//cloud.example.com/apps/mail/api/messages/188882/attachment/2/
The username and the attachment's absolute download URL are concatenated with no separator → first path segment parsed as principal <user>https: → "Principal not
found".

Probable Root cause ??

src/mixins/AttachementMixin.js lines 8–18 build a fileInfo for OCA.Viewer.open() where:

• source and filename are set to attachment.downloadUrl, which is an absolute URL produced by IURLGenerator::linkToRouteAbsolute() in
  lib/Service/Attachment/AttachmentService.php:318 and lib/Controller/MessagesController.php:1075.
• fileid is set to the (non-DAV) attachment id.

Viewer + richdocuments then construct a DAV URL roughly as /remote.php/dav/files/${uid}${source}, producing the malformed path above. Mail attachments are not real
files under the user root, so handing them to richdocuments cannot succeed.

Expected behavior

PDF/image/video attachments preview inline via Viewer's built-in handlers (plain GET on source); richdocuments is not invoked for mail attachments.

Actual behavior

opens a Window which says "Loading 2 ...", but it never loads.
