Probably an extremely short-lived macro, until (hopefully soon) the filetypes bug gets fixed.
There are also better workarounds out there, fully automatic, just a bit too complicated for most normal users :cool: (e.g. here)

Anyway, if you want to open mailto-links with your webmail and don't manage it otherwise, try this macro and open them with a keyboard shortcut or right-click on the link and use the menu.

You can choose the target webmail and the keyboard shortcut yourself.
Just open the file with a simple editor like notepad and modify the URL and keys. Save again with "all files" option to keep the .kmm ending.

Currently the target is Zoho:
https://zmail.zoho.com/mail/compose.do?extsrc=mailto&mode=compose&tp=zb&ct=%1
and the shortcut "CTRL SHIFT LButton" (left-click on link)

IMPORTANT:
This macro does NOT touch, use or mess any native configurations, prefs, files, behaviors or whatever! All it does is add a temporary menu entry and shortcut, completely independant. That means it can peacefully run parallel to other stuff, as long as they don't use the same keyboard shortcut, but this choice is up to you. And nothing stays permanently: as soon as the kmm-file is deleted or deactivated all traces will be gone too.
To verify you can always open the kmm-file as text and look inside.

PS: can't test zoho myself, have no mail account there :cool: Anyone?

It works fine, siria! Thank you very much!

We should ask our comrades to add to this macro the user prompt to add his own webmail-handlers.
Like in browser.kmm by adodupan.

Thank you rodocop! Glad it really works
And it also fills out the linked fields like subject and body too?

Have meanwhile considered to perhaps use a bit javascript and add the webmailer-prefix to all mailto-links in all page source codes automatically, that would make it fully automatic and also prevent outlook (or whatever) popping up each time annoyingly when clicking a mailto-link accidentally the normal way... But guess that would be rather drastic, overrule all native KM settings, and not sure about speed etc.

Personally am happy since years with merely adding a tiny envelope-icon in front of all mailto-links, to avoid accidents, also kinda easy with a bit css and handywork. A lot of stuff is easier the old handywork way, if users know about it :-)

Yes, siria, it handles links with different fills as well as general mailto:s
