Try: evolution mailto:%s

Should work a bit better.

ok, I upgraded to the latest snapshot, 1.0 Release Candidate.

evolution "%s" works fine now...

coolio! thanks!

by the way... the "evolution mailto:%s"; doesn't work for me :), I end up
with a literal %s in my TO: field when i do that.

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. I'm using RH7.1 with the latest
ximian gnome, gnomecc 1.5.9, almost the latest evo snaps.

Thanks, John

Better yet, it's entirely non-trivial to change the internal protocol
handlers ("URL handlers") in Mozilla. There's however a Mozdev project
which allows you to this. Checkout: 

http://protozilla.mozdev.org/

Bye.

Protozilla, despite all the "alpha" warnings on its web site, works well
for me. The major drawback is the impossibility of installing it as a
non-root user unless you change the ownership of /usr/lib/mozilla - on a
a single-user system, this may be acceptable to people. Installing it a
root, and then firing up Mozilla as a non-root user doesn't do the
trick.

Anyway, if you get it installed, simply run the Protozilla console,
create a new handler called mailto.cmd and tell it to execute "evolution
mailto:$URI_DATA";. Mailto links then work just fine.

Mike.

  AFAIK the GNOME URL handler includes mailto: by itself, so the right
way is `evolution %s' and not `evolution mailto:%s'.

This works for me as expected.  I use Galeon.
