I found a script, but it was for xemacs, it used gnuclient, and the poster had to hack Firefox's about:config to achieve it. Obviously no MozEx addon around then. In emacs.help Joel J. Adamson wrote "I use MozEx to follow mailto: links and edit text fields." but declined to tell us how. I will post a follow up to this in emacs.help but I started penning this here, and the subject really belongs here, so I'm posting this too... So, in short, has anyone (apart from Joel :-) figured out a form we can pass to emacsclient (courtesy of MozEx) that will help us use mailto: links in Iceweasel, in Gnus? My best effort, which, needless to say, doesn't work... emacsclient -e "(with-temp-buffer (insert %a) (kill-region (point) (progn (beginning-of-line) (point))))" ^ | MozEx puts the address string here ------ The idea behind this is to make it possible for me to switch to Emacs, C-xm to compose a new message, and then be able to yank the mailto: address into the To: line in gnus...
