I am trying to better adjust the mail.kmm macro file to my needs and uses. I have been mostly successful with the following:

Mail_SendPageURL{
$JS_doit="with(top.document)location='mailtosubject=[Webpage] '+encodeURIComponent(title)+'&body=See URL: '+encodeURIComponent(URL)"; &JS_hndlDoc;
}
Mail_SendLinkURL{
$JS_doitLink="j=a.length;location='mailtobody='+encodeURIComponent(href)"; &JS_hndlLink;
}
Mail_SendImageURL{
$JS_doitImage="a=false;location='mailtosubject=[Image] '+encodeURIComponent((title)?title:¤((alt)?alt:document.title))+'&body=See URL: '+encodeURIComponent(src)"; $JS_doitInput=$JS_doitImage; &JS_hndlImage;
}
Mail_SendFrameURL{
$JS_doit="location='mailtosubject='+encodeURIComponent(title)+'&body='+encodeURIComponent(URL)"; &JS_hndlDoc;
}
Mail_SendSelection{
$JS_doit="if(getSelection())location='mailtosubject=[Clipping] '+encodeURIComponent(title)+'&body='+encodeURIComponent(getSelection())+'%0D%0A%0D%0A- - - - -%0D%0AClipping from URL:%0D%0A'+encodeURIComponent(URL)"; $SelectedText==""?0:&JS_hndlDoc;
}

Attention: please remove any '¤' sign found in the code above.

Except -- there are always exceptions, right? -- the 'Send By Mail' context menu option isn't always working (like with a selection in http:// www.tcbmi.com/strokeit/donate.shtml) and the javascript error console (chrome://console2/content/console2.xul) is showing this error: 'Deprecated method document.getSelection() called. Please use window.getSelection() instead'.

In the first instance, could it be that server side includes aren't compatible with this? I really have no idea how to solve the console error.

Any help deeply appreciated.

Hmm, works for me (with the original mail.kmm).

Line:

$JS_doit="if(getSelection())location='mailtosubject=[Clipping] '+encodeURIComponent(title)+'&body='+encodeURIComponent(getSelection())+'%0D%0A%0D%0A- - - - -%0D%0AClipping from URL:%0D%0A'+encodeURIComponent(URL)"; $SelectedText==""?0:&JS_hndlDoc;

should be:

$JS_doit="if(window.getSelection())location='mailtosubject=[Clipping] '+encodeURIComponent(title)+'&body='+encodeURIComponent(window.getSelection())+'%0D%0A%0D%0A- - - - -%0D%0AClipping from URL:%0D%0A'+encodeURIComponent(URL)"; $SelectedText==""?0:&JS_hndlDoc;

(two corrections, pay attention to your question marks)

No. You are manipulating the document that is in your browser. It doesn't matter how the server created it.

Thank you, kko. The console error is gone!

Unfortunately, the other problem still remains. Oh well, I guess I'll just live with it, my modification mostly works -- pity because that particular option would be the most convenient -- but I don't have the knowledge to fully debug the issue. Thanks again.

Final code, for the record:

Mail_SendPageURL{
$JS_doit="with(top.document)location='mailtosubject=[Webpage] '+encodeURIComponent(title)+'&body=See URL: '+encodeURIComponent(URL)"; &JS_hndlDoc;
}
Mail_SendLinkURL{
$JS_doitLink="j=a.length;location='mailtobody=See URL: '+encodeURIComponent(href)"; &JS_hndlLink;
}
Mail_SendImageURL{
$JS_doitImage="a=false;location='mailtosubject=[Image] '+encodeURIComponent((title)?title:¤((alt)?alt:document.title))+'&body=See URL: '+encodeURIComponent(src)"; $JS_doitInput=$JS_doitImage; &JS_hndlImage;
}
Mail_SendFrameURL{
$JS_doit="location='mailtosubject=[Webcontent] '+encodeURIComponent(title)+'&body=See URL: '+encodeURIComponent(URL)"; &JS_hndlDoc;
}
Mail_SendSelection{
$JS_doit="if(window.getSelection())location='mailtosubject=[Clipping] '+encodeURIComponent(title)+'&body='+encodeURIComponent(window.getSelection())+'%0D%0A%0D%0A- - - - -%0D%0AClipping from URL:%0D%0A'+encodeURIComponent(URL)"; $SelectedText==""?0:&JS_hndlDoc;
}

Attention: please remove any '¤' sign found in the code above.

FYI, here are some additional console errors generated while browsing this forums:

Warning: Error in parsing value for property '-moz-user-select'. Declaration dropped.
Source file: http:// kmeleonbrowser.org/forum/mods/editor_tools/colorpicker/js_color_picker_v2.css
Line: 94

Warning: Expected ',' or '{' but found 'html'. Ruleset ignored due to bad selector.
Source file: http:// kmeleonbrowser.org/forum/templates/kmeleon/default.css
Line: 284

After seeing that I could 'Clip' any one or two paragraphs but not the whole text of the example page I mentioned (http:// www.tcbmi.com/strokeit/donate.shtml), could it be there's some limit on the amount of data that can be transfered this way?

Yes, there is a limit. At first, the selected text is converted into a mailto: URL. There might be a limit for the length of URLs somewhere in the browser. In the end, the OS is generating a command line from this URL. The length of commands is also limited (the limit depends on the Windows version).

Due to your additions, the macro will reach this limit with less selected text...

Damn, thought so. :mad:

Thanks for bearing me...

Sorry to bring up this thread from the dead, but since the mods detailed here have proved to be a bounty for my Web clipping -- especially when I just use OE's "'Save as' text" feature to generate little text files, that keep the message subject line as the file name, and with the originating URL stored inside in plain text along with whichever text scrap I fancy...

I still have two problems, though, that I'll submitt here in the hope of suggestions that will lead to other improvements:

1. A lot of the text I am currently capturing uses diacritics, so the mail message output is spit out in a garbled ugliness -- I am guessing this is UTF-8 Unicode -- a situation I mostly solve by re-copying and re-pasting via the Windows clipboard; now if the clipboard can handle this type of text fine, K-Meleon macros should too, right?

2. I still use and old IE frontend called MixBrowser for its ability to embed a full webpage in the body of an HTML formatted email message, a really useful trick that I can't even start to figure how to replicate with KM -- but sure would love too.

Any hints? All help deeply appreciated. TIA,

When you copy data to the clipboard (either manually or through a macro), additional (meta) information about the nature of the data (such as the encoding of text) is saved, so the application where you paste the clipboard contents can handle it accordingly. But here you are using the command line to exchange text between applications, so the target application doesn't get any encoding information... (km 1.5 might be worth a try since that is a Unicode build)

I don't think that this is possible using macros. It might work through a XUL application (Firefox Add-On), though.

I have look for unMHT extension, but I have been able to make it work.

A late thanks for your replies, mates... (computer tweaking sent me offline).

@Alain:

Could Lex1's QuickSaver for Opera provide some assistance, either by adaptation or coding example? (It worked with oGet!...)
