In my current XUL app, I have a 'Contact Author' button, that I would like to open an email client, via mailto. For some reason it throws me an error. Below is my code:
try{ var oBrowser = window.getBrowser(); oBrowser.loadURI("mailto:"+ gAuthorEmail, "", "UTF-8"); }catch(err){alert(err)}
The error I'm getting is: "Component returned failure code: 0x80004005 (NS_ERROR_FAILURE) [nsIWebNavigation.loadURI] nsresult: 0x8000400g (NS_ERROR_FAILURE) location: JS frame :: chrome://global/content/bindings/browser.xml :: loadURIWithFlags :: line 159 data: no"
Any ideas or better ways to do this?
Thanks, Jeremy

it sounds like your application might have the code for the mailto: protocol handler. however, it seems to be lacking the chrome for mailnews, and probably you don't want to run mailnews from within your application ;-) it seems like you need to do something to ensure that mailto: URLs are handled by the unknown protocol handler. to force that to happen, try setting this pref:
pref("network.protocol-handler.external.mailto", true);
also, if you are running under linux, you'd probably want to make sure this pref is set:
pref("network.protocol-handler.expose-all", false);
that way, your application will fail to handle x-remote openURL requests. if you want some of your protocol handlers to be invoked via x-remote, then you can combine this pref with multiple prefs of the following form:
pref("network.protocol-handler.expose.x-my-protocol", true);
let me know if this doesn't do the trick.
