Eventually there will be a way to attach documents via the mailto: command-line argument something like: evolution mailto:fejj@;ximian.com?subject=hello&attach=file.doc Jeff PS: Can you 1) tell your mail client to properly word-wrap (~72 columns or so)? And 2) properly attach a signature (ie, use "-- \n" as a separator)? Thanks. -- Jeffrey Stedfast Evolution Hacker - Ximian, Inc.
