Don't get me wrong, I'd really like to be able to attach a file from the command line, but I think a sylpheed-esque --attach argument (or something like that) is *much* preferable to an attempt at cramming the functionality into the mailto:; URI spec.

Re: [Evolution] Command-line calls for Evolution
Pete, Sorry... This isn't currently possible with Evolution. There is no way to bring up the composer with a file already attached. I believe this is planned behavior, but has not yet been implemented nor planned. Obviously we (Ximian) want Evolution to play nice with StarOffice and OpenOffice and this is needed.

Re: [Evolution] Command line options?
I've been searching the help in Evolution 1.08, but I can't seem to find any section on how to invoke a specific command from the command line (or within the parameters of another program). What I'm trying to do is setup a couple programs, so that they automatically start evolution-mail when I click on an email link. Thanks for any help! I have a related question. Is there a commandline parameter to tell Evolution to starting offline mode? I work alot in airports/airplanes that have no net access.

Re: [Evolution] command line?

(or other GNOME apps) http://support.ximian.com/cgi-bin/ximian.cfg/php/enduser/std_adp.php?p_refno=011126-01 When you click on a mailto: link in Galeon, Galeon calls the GNOME URL handler to decide what to do with the link. You can set what mailto: does in the control center. To get to the Control Center, you can click on the panel menus: System - Settings Or, you can run from the command line: $ gnomecc There are two versions of the Control Center being used by Ximian Desktop users at the moment. If you are using the old style Control Center, find URL Handlers in the tree on the left, and select it with the left mouse button. The capplet will open in the right hand frame. If you see a mailto handler already defined select it from the list. If not, type mailto (without quotes) in the upper left text box. In either case, type: evolution %s ...into the handler: text box. Click the [Set] button, and click [OK]. If you are using the new style Control Center, click on: Advanced - URL Handlers NOTE: If you do not have Advanced on the left hand side you need to install control-center-plus from Red Carpet. Run Red Carpet, get to the Ximian Preview Channel, click Install in the upper right hand corner, find control-center-plus, and install it.

Re: [Evolution] command line or mailto: support
Hi, Either I've never gotten this to work or I don't understand how it's supposed to work. My understanding is that if this is working and I click on a link of the form Mailto:somebody@somwhere; in mozilla, I should get an evolution compose window with the To: already filled out with somebody@somewhere and not get the mozilla mail compose window, correct? I always get the mozilla window and I've tried the suggestions from this thread and a previous one on this list.
