Re: opening email app in Windows
Peter,
What's wrong with the revMail command or with revGoURL ""? You can
just leave the destination address behind.

The problem with using either revMail or revGoURL and a "mailto:";
prefix is that both open up a new message in the email application.
My stack will essentially always be used after the user has already
started composing a message, and the function of the stack is to put
some text on the clipboard (a signature with a quote inserted into
it) for pasting into a mostly completed message. I suppose I could
simply expand my stack to allow the user to compose the message
entirely in the Rev environment, insert the signature on command,
then use revMail to open a new message with the entire text ready to
send, but that would mean duplicating all the functionality of an
email app in Rev. I don't wish to re-invent the wheel. All I want is
to be able to activate the email app's frontmost window (which will
be the mostly-completed message).
If this is not do-able, my stack will still be OK, but automatically
activating the email app window would provide a small convenience
that would be a nice touch. And it works already on the Mac. At some
point I will want to port this to Windows and I was trying to work
out how to do this....
For those who missed or forgot my attempt to crib from the revGoURL
backscript, I reproduce it below. If anyone out there knows windows
shell commands well enough to help, I'd love some advice.... I wonder
if I need a different queryRegistry argument to avoid opening a new
message...?
(watch for long line wraps:)

put queryRegistry("HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\mailto\shell\open\command\")
into tMailApp
replace quote & "%1" & quote with pWhich in tMailApp
-- ? comment out the above ?
replace "%1" with pWhich in tMailApp
-- ? comment out the above ?
-- older versions use %l ("percent L")
replace quote & "%l" & quote with pWhich in tMailApp
-- ? comment out the above ?
replace "%l" with pWhich in tMailApp
-- ? comment out the above ?
-- for Windows XP
replace "%ProgramFiles%" with $ProgramFiles in tMailApp
open process tMailApp for neither
end if
My question is regarding the pWhich variable substitutions. In the
script for revGoURL, pWhich contains the email address, which I do
not want to specify. If I simply don't substitute anything for "%1"
in the result of the queryRegistry function, will Windows just
activate the email app without objection?
