I was trying to overcome this same permalink issue as well. We use Firefox 3 in our office and Outlook as our email client. Whenever a permalink is pasted into an email message, the final two ]] aren't recognized by Outlook as part of the URL. I thought this limitation could be overcome by fixing the email message. So I wrote a macro that would perform a find and replace on the [[ and ]] with %5B%5B and %5D%5D respectively. I then set up a Rule in Outlook that runs the macro on incoming email messages. That whole process works fine. A permalink generated by Firefox 3 can be pasted pasted into an email and sent to a co-worker. When the message is received, the macro automatically fixes the hyperlink, so the user doesn't have to be bothered with editing the URL.
Unfortunately, it seems that Outlook will only pass the base URL to the browser (whatever the browser, IE, Firefox, Chrome). For example, if the email contains: file:///C:/TW/TiddlyWiki.html#%5B%5BTask%20List%5D%5D Clicking that link in Outlook results in file:///C:/TW/TiddlyWiki.html opening with the default tiddlers, rather than opening at tiddler "Task List". As far as I can tell, this is just the way Outlook handles such a URL. I'm trying to find out if there is a way to override this behavior. Bottom line: permalinks don't seem to work with Outlook, regardless of the URL contains ]]'s or the encoded equivalent. ~Roger On Nov 24, 9:50 am, "Reenen Laurie" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > Will FF3 change this behaviour? > > But thanks, most people is on IE, and it'll work there (I tested). > > I actually tried PermalinkPlugin, which works, just not with IE.
