I suppose there are many people here who run Lenny and use mutt and iceweasel; that note was for their benefit so they need not look for a file which does not exist (like I did). signature.asc Description: Digital signature

I'm guessing mutt can't parse the mailto: line given out by iceweasel.
Here's a very quick and very dirty bit of perl I knocked up; I'm not
suggesting it's right, but it'll hopefully give you a starting point:
#!/usr/bin/perl
sub escape {
$result=$_[0];
$result=~s{([\$])}{\\$1}g;
return \$result\;
}
($dummy, $params)=split /:/, $ARGV[0], 2;
($address, $params)=split /\?/, $params, 2;
print $params\n;
for $x(split //, $params) {
($key, $val)=split /=/, $x, 2;
print $key: $val\n;
$paramhash{$key}=$val;
}
$cmd=mutt;
$cmd.= -s .escape($paramhash{subject}) if($paramhash{subject});
$cmd.= -c .escape($paramhash{cc}) if($paramhash{cc});
$cmd.= -b .escape($paramhash{bcc}) if($paramhash{bcc});
$cmd.= $address;
print $cmd\n;
exec $cmd;

I've tried settings - apps - mailto - shellscript Shellscript: #!/bin/sh exec xterm -e mutt $@ The xterm only pops up for 1 second. That's very close to the script that is working for me (using Iceweasel 3.0.6 on Lenny): #!/bin/sh prefixWords= if [ -t 0 -a -t 1 ] then prefixWords= else prefixWords=xterm -e fi set -x $prefixWords mutt -- $@ I don't think your exec should cause a problem, but it may be worth trying without it. You may need the -- in case any of the arguments begins with '-'. I can't think off-hand if that is likely. By the way, the if tests whether you're running from a terminal already, and opens mutt there if you are. Otherwise it fires up an xterm. You might get some more information by temporarily changing your xterm line to exec xterm -e bash -c set -x; mutt $*; read -p 'Press enter to exit ' -- Cheers, Clive -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-user-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of unsubscribe.
