mailto from iceweasel with gnus

[henry atting]

Hi all,

I cannot succeed in opening mailto clicks from iceweasel with gnus. 
More precise I can open them but not with the receiver address filled 
in. I did try it in several ways (using mozex), e.g. these two scripts:

#!bin/sh
        emacsclient -e "(gnus-url-mailto \"$1\")" 

#!/bin/sh
        exec emacsclient -e "(compose-mail \"$1\" \"$2\")"


 Any hints?

henry

In case you use Gnome, like I do, here's what works for me:

In the 'Preferred Applications' preference, I've put "Custom"
"mozmail.sh %s" as the Mail Reader.

mozmail.sh is simply:

 #!/bin/bash

 /usr/bin/gnuclient -batch -eval "(mozmail \"$1\")"

And in my .gnus, I've got:

 ; mozmail:
 (require 'mozmail)

This may (or may not) be an antiquated way to do it, but it works for
me.


  Best regards,

     Adam

And if I use KDE, anyone out there found a solution in KDE? (I've been
searching for the place to change the default email client in KDE for
a few days). I'm using Slackware 11, KDE 3.54 and Emacs 22.1.

Thanks,
Joel

Mmh, thanks, but I don't use neither gnome nor kde. On the other side I 
don't have emacs21, I'm running emacs23, which does not come along with 
gnuclient and the above solution does not work with emacsclient ;)

Adam Sjøgren's tip should work, but not using gnome or KDE, you need
to go into about:config in iceweasel. There are thorough instructions
in the starting commentary of "mozmail.el" somewhere in the lisp tree
(I'm on xemacs, so I don't know exactly how to find it under gnu
emacs).

Concerning gnuclient/emacsclient, it seems unbelievable that there
shouldn't be at least a similar service. Maybe you should try
gnu.emacs.help on that?

Yes, this was a big step forward! Following the instructions concerning 
about:config it now works.  Gnus is started - I would have preferred to 
do it with compose-mail but anyway...

These lines in mozmail.el made me believe that it won't work with 
emacslient:

Thanks to all
