Hi there,

first I would like to thank you for creating k-meleon. I love it ;O)

My only prob is, like explained in subject:

How can I tell the Browser to start my favorite email-Prog when pressing the (tool2.bmp[13]) toolbar-button? Is there a way to do this, or is there a need for an extra Plugin?
I've searched the Resources-Page, but couldn't find something like that.

Thanks for your answer!

Best regards,

PeeWee

i've heard that it's still not possible to use/launch external programs... maybe on the next release?

you would create a macro like this:

mail {
exec(command_to_launch_mail_program_goes_here);
}

----------------------------
depending on the mail client in question, the command might consist of only the path to the exetuable for the program, or, for some programs, you can add commands to open the new message editor, etc...

for general information on creating a macro and a button, see here:

Thx for your support!!

I will give it a try ;O)

Best regards,

PeeWee

Just want to tell you that I've tried it out, it works well and I'm happy now!

Thank you very much!!

glad to hear it... things are bound to work out once in a while, i guess.

If anybody uses Kaufman Mail Warrior (I would strongly recommend its version 3.57, which is a bit old but rather stable), then just a new blank message would appear by (strings for macros.cfg):

exec("C:\Your Kaufman path\mw**.exe" -NewMail)

and the "mailto" string would be:

exec("C:\Your Kaufman path\mw**.exe" -NewMail "%1")

Both tested and working.

I am simple, so I use a macro something like this

email_client{
menu=&Email
open(" rel="nofollow" >mailto
}

And my toolbar has

Email{
macros(email_client)
TOOL1.bmp[13]
TOOL2.bmp[13]
}

So irrespective of what email client you use , this opens a new email of your default email client... sweet ah
