mailto links

[elbows]

When I click on a mailto link in phoenix (0.4), nothing happens. I get the same behavior in Mozilla, FWIW. I don't have mozilla mail installed, just the browser. Can I set phoenix to use an external mail program to open mailto links?

Just for the fun of it...

if you're using windows.. check out what program is associated with

Code: Select all

Extension  File Type
 N/A           URL:MailTo Protocol

(in ur Folder Options/Filetype)

just setting it up there.. might fix ur problem cross-browser....

Actually I'm using Linux. Any other suggestions?

make sure you have a mail client that is associated with mailto links. if you click on such a link then, the mail client should open.

I'm not sure what you mean... where do I make this association? I can't find a preference for it in mozilla or phoenix.
Incidentally, I have been messing around with this, and now I get the message "mailto is not a registered protocol" when I click on a mailto link. I'm not sure what I changed.

I'm pretty sure it's not possible to do on Linux yet. There's a bug on this, but I don't remember the number.

That win32 mailto: find is great! I write little programs that set up email templates but they would always open outlook.

Could i write a batch file that could do the same saving me to click around (i plan to fix this on multiple machines)

no, but you could export the registry file and then import it on all the computers.
