Hugh,
My code didn't use "launch", it used "open process", and had code to
substitute the "%1" that appears in some command strings with the proper
mailto:
on GoMail tMailTo
switch (the platform)
case "MacOS"
send "mailto:"&tMailTo to program "Finder" with "GURLGURL"
break
case "Win32"
-- First, read the WIndows registry to get the default calling command
for HTML files
put queryRegistry("HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\mailto\shell\open\command\") into
tMailApp
if tMailApp = "" then exit STS_GoMail
if (quote & "%1" & quote) is in tMailApp then replace quote & "%1" &
quote with tMailTo in tMailApp
if "%1" is in tMailApp then replace "%1" with tMailTo in tMailApp
set cursor to watch
open process tMailApp for neither
break
end switch
end GoMail
For example, on my Win98 PC, I use Outlook as my mail client. The value in
the registry at "HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\mailto\shell\open\command\" is as
follows:
"C:\PROGRA~1\MICROS~4\OFFICE\OUTLOOK.EXE" -c IPM.Note /m "%1"
This is important, so that an email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] changes the
string to:
"C:\PROGRA~1\MICROS~4\OFFICE\OUTLOOK.EXE" -c IPM.Note /m
[EMAIL PROTECTED]
Did you try this method? It works swimmingly here for me on Win 98/Outlook.
