GMail works with Thunderbird and probably any other IMAP client, since GMail provides mail service with the standard, IMAP: http://mail.google.com/support/bin/answer.py?hl=en&answer=75725 Using a web browser is a different matter. To launch firefox into gmail and directly into the compose function, put this in OOo: /usr/bin/firefox 'https://mail.google.com/mail/h/?v=b&pv=tl&cs=b' Find it under the menus: Tools->Options->Internet->E-mail->E-mail program Be sure to note the single quotes there. I've forgotten enough CGI and multi-part forms that the answer to the attachments is not obvious. It's probably doable. Regards, -Lars PS. If people are sending attachments, then there is some failure in the workplace's technical infrastructures ability to support the work flow. Attachments are not an appropriate substitute for a proper networked filesystem. PPS. OOo takes care of this automatically: Launching thunderbird to compose a new mail is done like this: /usr/bin/thunderbird -mail -compose and with an attachment thunderbird -mail -compose "attachment=file:///temp/foo" --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: [email protected] For additional commands, e-mail: [email protected]
