hello Frank,

for the command as you've written I get the same error. so I can confirm that ( even I don't know if the args for that command are correct ! ).

It does work this way with the thunderbird binary you get from mozilla.org.

but if I register Thunderbird as the default eMail-client, I can use the "Send Link"-function from within Firefox without any problem. ( and it works with other eMail-clients, to ). so there may be also another problem in your configuration ...

That was a very helpful hint! I looked into the firefox source and stepped on var mailtoUrl = ... "&subject=" + encodeURIComponent(aSubject)... and that got me the right idea :-) I'm using Opera, and to make it call thunderbird, you have to use some script that builds a "mailto" line and calls thunderbird with that. Now the problem with the blanks in the subject shows up the way I wrote above when using SuSEs Thunderbird. According to the firefox code ("encodeURI"), I encoded the blank as %20: thunderbird -remote "mailto(bla@bla?subject=test%20me)" works fine :-) So I guess it happens due to some language stuff that SuSE is adding to the thunderbird rpm in contrast to the mozilla binary. Anyway, now I know how to handle that. Thanks a lot for that helpfull feedback :-) cu, Frank -- Dipl.-Inform. Frank Steiner Web: http://www.bio.ifi.lmu.de/~steiner/ Lehrstuhl f.
