Hello,
We have seen several times people asking for opening a better mailer
than lynx upon pressing return on a "mailto:" link (not using EXTERNAL).
The following is not a patch but you are welcome to use it in your own
version to open your mailer. In my case it is pine. The format for pine is
pine -url mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]
and that is what is coded down below, the obvious modifications can be
done for other mailers.
All you have to do is replace the function reply_by_mail by the following
new function (for unix users):
PUBLIC void reply_by_mail ARGS4(
char *, mail_address,
char *, filename,
CONST char *, title,
CONST char *, refid)
{
char *command = "";
CTRACE(tfp, "reply_by_mail(\"%s\", \"%s\", \"%s\", \"%s\")\n",
mail_address?mail_address:"<nil>",
filename?filename:"<nil>",
title?title:"<nil>",
refid?refid:"<nil>");
if (!(mail_address && *mail_address)) {
HTAlert(NO_ADDRESS_IN_MAILTO_URL);
return;
}
sprintf(command,"/path/to/pine -url mailto:%s",mail_address);
stop_curses();
LYSystem(command);
start_curses();
FREE(command);
return;
}
Have a good day,
Eduardo
