Maybe I'm coming in late to this thread, but if the body of the email is
less than 1k have you considered just sending it along as a param in the
url?:
on mouseUp
put "some...@somewhere.com" into tAddress
put "Hello!" into tSubject
put "This is the body"&cr&"of the email." into tBody
put "mailto:"&; tAddress & "?" \
& "subject="& tSubject &"&" \
& "body="& tBody into tEmailURL
launch url tEmailURL
end mouseUp
I use this to have customers send bug reports, and I can grab the OS
version, my app's version, screenRect, and other useful info along with
the relevant portion of the executionContexts all within the size limit
on the URL passed to most email clients.
So far the only really restrictive client I've come across in years is
GMail, which apparently allows only ~512 chars; everything else our
users have tested on allows at least 1k, which has been plenty to get
the info I need from them.
This script causes unexpected problems here. It launches KMail on my
system despite my having Thunderbird properly set as the default system
email client. What happens if no desktop client is being used? (I
honestly don't know, I have never been one of those people who use
web-based mail.) Can one be assured that that behavior will be
consistent? A second problem on my system, running Linux, is that the
body is not inserted into the message. This seems to be related to the
number of parameters the system will pass to the email client. It
accepts only two, apparently. So, recipient's address + (pick one: cc,
subject OR body). revMail also behaves exactly this way here.
