Aloha kakou,
I have some 'mailto' links in an org file in the expected form:
[[mailto:bobnew...@bobnewell.net]]
C-c C-o also does as expected, bringing up a blank email to the
addressee in question. But it uses 'browse-url' to do so, and just
brings up a simple mail interface, when I'd like to have my gnus
interface (with my BCCs, sig, etc.). I am able to get this to work (and
at the same time work with mailto links in w3m buffers) with the
following kludge that I threw together this afternoon (coded below and
yes, it's a horror story).
It just seems like there should be an easier/better way. Haved I failed
to find something simple?
I'm posting here as I encountered this with org-mode. Unsure if it
should (also) go in the 'gnus' groups.
(setq browse-url-mailto-function 'rjn-browse-url-mailto)
(defvar rjn-mail-addr)
(defvar rjn-mail-subject)
(defun rjn-browse-url-mailto (messy-mail-addr optional whatever)
Fix for url-browse and w3m mailto to work with gnus styles
(setq rjn-mail-addr (replace-regexp-in-string mailto:; messy-mail-addr))
(string-match ?subject=.* rjn-mail-addr)
(setq rjn-mail-subject (match-string 0 rjn-mail-addr))
(setq rjn-mail-subject (replace-regexp-in-string ?subject=
rjn-mail-subject))
(setq rjn-mail-addr (replace-regexp-in-string ?subject=.* rjn-mail-addr))
(gnus-msg-mail rjn-mail-addr rjn-mail-subject)
)
