Re: gnus and mailto:

[David Roth <david@linuxpunks.net>]

Hi,
thanks for both yours and Kai's reply.  I should have mentioned that I wished to use
gnus-group-mail instead of compose-mail.  But this doesn't seem to take any arguments, so I ended
up copying and modifying gnus-group-mail to the following:

(require 'gnus-msg)
(defun dxr-group-mail (To Subject)
  "Start composing a mail."
  (interactive)
  (gnus-setup-message 'message
  (message-mail To Subject)))

which seems to work the way I want, when I call it from gnudoit.  I'm sure there's probably a better
way to do it though! 

Thanks for the pointers in the right direction.

Dave
