Are you referring to Exec=emacsclient --alternate-editor= --eval "(message-mailto (pop server-eval-args-left))" %u line in emacsclient-mail.desktop? That would be backwards-incompatible change. Technically, one can already do emacsclient --eval "(org-protocol-check-filename-for-protocol (pop server-eval-args-left))" PROTOCOL-URL but that honestly looks awful if we consider scripts directly calling capture (or any other) protocol from shell, not from URL handler. Charles, I guess you can try the above trick as a workaround. It should be suitable if you have full control on how emacsclient is called. -- Ihor Radchenko // yantar92, Org mode maintainer, Learn more about Org mode at <https://orgmode.org/>.
