Hello all again. I just got curious and went on to test that .htaccess trick in the real world. I'd say that I'm less than happy with the results.
With Thunderbird as the default mail app on Windows XP SP2, IE7, Firefox 2.0.0.7 and Seamonkey 1.1.4 did indeed open a new message window with the correct addressee in the To: field. The main browser window, in meantime, went to a blank page in IE and a "Found - The document has moved here." page in Gecko browsers. The design part of my soul cried thinking at website visitors landing there after clicking a link... Even worse, both Opera 9.23 and Safari 3.0.3 failed to open a message compo window. Opera just hanged there spinning a 'busy' cursor, while Safari informed me that »The page you opened redirected you to a page that isn’t supported by Safari. Safari can’t open the page “http://www.kozina.com/mailtest/example/com/me” because it cannot redirect to locations starting with “http:”.« I guess there is a 'not' missing somewhere. Anybody (Mac & Linux browsers...) wants to take a ride? The thing is up there at http://www.kozina.com/mailtest/ . Let us know of your results. djn -- ----------------------------------------- Dejan Kozina Web design studio Dolina 346 (TS) - I-34018 Italy tel./fax: +39 040 228 436 - cell.: +39 348 7355 225 skype: dejankozina http://www.kozina.com/ - e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] ******************************************************************* List Guidelines: http://webstandardsgroup.org/mail/guidelines.cfm Unsubscribe: http://webstandardsgroup.org/join/unsubscribe.cfm Help: [EMAIL PROTECTED] *******************************************************************
