Yes I can get it to work from console also, but the same string coming from KDE does not work. Gnome didnt work either. I installed the patches for the security fix and the problem still exists. I guess if I had half a brain I could probably look at the kde source myself and submit a patch. But I dont have a clue as to where I would start in the code since I've never even bothered to look at it. What I dont understand, is why it would send %t just fine no matter where it is placed in the line, yet the other variables will only work if they are the only thing in the line. Aniother combination I have tried are as follows:
evolution mailto:'%t'?subject='%s' This sends the T variable data, subject is blank. evolution mailto:'%t'?subject="%s" Sends T variable data, subject comes up as %s. evolution "mailto:%t?subject=%s"; This doesnt even open evolution. It just sits there and does nothing. evolution "mailto:%t"; Again, evo doesnt open. evolution mailto:%t?subject='%s' sens T data, subject is blank. evolution 'mailto:%t?subject=%s' Evo doesnt open. evolution 'mailto:'%t''?subject='%s'' Evo doesnt open. I have tried many other variations as well. But still none have worked yet. Atleast I can get it to work with %t but its still broken by the fact that it cannot use any of the other 4 variables available. Whether its KDE that's broke or evo, I dont really know. All I can do is pretty much show tests of what does and does not work. > I just tried it with you test strings from a console. Works as expected > her.
