Hi, I have made a setup wich creates a link in a tiddler to an Outlook email message. It works fine, but I involves a rather complicated setup (mainly because I don't want to use IExplorer). This is how it works: - a VB macro in Outlook fetches the unique message ID from a selected email message and pasts it to the clipboard - a tiddlywiki plugin provides a macro which takes the ID and uses javascript to open the message in Outlook - the browser uses a java applet to communicate with Outlook (not needed if you use IExplorer though)
The tricky part is that you need to edit your java.policy file in order to get out of the browser java sandbox. If people are interested, I can put alle the files and code on my website. cheers Henk On Sat, Feb 21, 2009 at 8:20 AM, roger <[email protected]> wrote: > > I'd really like to have my TW's set up so that emails that I want to > associate with a specific TW can somehow be connected.
