Try this to launch an email... (Although I get spurious quote mark at the
end end of the address)
on mailto tAddress,tSubject
put word 1 to -2 of queryRegistry
("hkey_local_machine\software\classes\mailto\shell\open\command\") into
tBrowserPath
if tBrowserPath is not empty then
if tSubject <> "" then
launch "mailto:"&tAddress & "?subject=" & tSubject with tBrowserPath
else launch "mailto:"&tAddress with tBrowserPath
if the result <>"" then
get smartAnswer("Process already open","Please close your eMail
program, then try again.","OK")
end if
else get smartAnswer("E-mail to"&&tAddress,"Sorry, I cannot identify your
default e-mail program. Please send e-mail manually.","OK")
end mailto
