Trying to find document or how to that describes how to embed a link in writer to Kmail, so a user can send an email to the address in the document. The document will be sent as a PDF. I know it should be doable, PDF documents I receive have this and work fine.

I read the section in the documentation about hyperlinks and I think I have it set up right, but it does not get to the email program. In the document I have email: [email protected] and when I hold the mouse over it I see:

mailto:[email protected]?subject=newsletter Input

xxxxx is receivers email name. Doing ctrl click as described in doc. does nothing. I sure I'm missing some parameter to tell writer to use kmail but I cannot find it.


Someone else will need to tell you specifics, but, is kmail set as your system-default mail application? I'm pretty sure that's how it's usually done with mailto: links. You don't invoke a specific mailer because not everybody who receives your document will necessarily be using the same mail reader. Instead, you invoke the default mailer and the system figures out which one to launch (if it has a default to work with).

I think I've seen here that on Windows systems the default mail client is used, but on Linux there's a configurable path under Tools > Options. I'm on Windows, but maybe somebody else can supply the actual option if necessary.
