I have been using KMail and Firefox. Firefox is set as the default browser in KDE. KMail *was* set up as the default email client using gnome-control-center. Mailto links would start the KMail composer without the recipient or subject information. The send link option in Firefox would again start the composer without the information. I changed the email client in gnome-control-center to point to the following script. This seems to work but also seems like more than should be needed. Is there a simpler way to get these two programs to play nice with each other? I'm using 9.1 with KDE 3.4. Some lines may have wrapped. #!/bin/bash MAILTO_URL="$@" #Strip off the protocol MAIL_DATA=$(echo "$MAILTO_URL" | /bin/sed -s 's/^mailto://I') #Get Recipient and strip it off RECIPIENT=$(echo "$MAIL_DATA" | cut -d? -f1 -) MAIL_DATA=$(echo "$MAIL_DATA" | /bin/sed -s s/^$RECIPIENT//) #Get Subject, BCC, CC and Body SUBJECT=$(echo "$MAIL_DATA" | \ /bin/sed -s 's/.*[&?]subject=//I' | /bin/sed -s 's/[&?].*//' | \ /bin/sed -s 's/%3A/:/g' | \ /bin/sed -s 's/%20/ /g') BCC=$(echo "$MAIL_DATA" | /bin/sed -s 's/.*[&?]bcc=//I' | \ /bin/sed -s 's/[&?].*//') CC=$(echo "$MAIL_DATA" | /bin/sed -s 's/.*[&?]cc=//I' | \ /bin/sed -s 's/[&?].*//') BODY=$(echo "$MAIL_DATA" | /bin/sed -s 's/.*[&?]body=//I' | \ /bin/sed -s 's/[&?].*//' | \ /bin/sed -s 's/%20/ /g' | \ /bin/sed -s 's/%26/\&/g' | \ /bin/sed -s 's/%2B/+/g' | \ /bin/sed -s 's/%2F/\//g' | \ /bin/sed -s 's/%3A/:/g' | \ /bin/sed -s 's/%3D/=/g' | \ /bin/sed -s 's/%3F/?/g') /opt/kde3/bin/kmail "$RECIPIENT" -s "$SUBJECT" -b "$BCC" -c "$CC" --body "$BODY" -- Louis Richards Who gets the feeling he took the long way around on this one. ;-)
