I've just spent a good while on a problem.
I've been trying to send a PDF from calibre to an email address.
In preferences/Sharing books by email, the formats column for that particular email address is "MOBI PDF".
When I try to send an PDF document to that email address, calibre says..."Could not email the following book as no suitable formats were found"
Yet if I just have PDF in the format column, it works !
I've also tried "PDF MOBI" and that fails too.
I feel I'm missing something really obvious but cant for the life of me see what.
Thanks
Rufe

Follow up edit...
I think I've solved the mystery...
It would appear that if you put more than 1 format in the formats column, you must separate them with a comma !
Strange.. calibre is clever enough to change any format entered to upper case, but not check for and insert a comma between formats if required..
