Mailto handler
mylk —Tue, 10/22/2013 - 13:03
Hi all,
How do I set up mailto handler?
According the changelog the addon has a working mailto handler, but it is not in the options.
What do I have to do to get it working under FF25b4?

You have to :
- at least put one email in the address book
- set it as 'favorite'
then you can use mailto by right clicking anywhere on a web page or on a link then choose "send with SimpleMail" in the drop down list
You can set several email as 'favorite'
Regards

Links formatted as mailto:someone@somewhere.com when you click on it FF starts the default mailclient.

Ok i've find the problem.
A workaround :
In Firefox type "about:config"
then find
"network.protocol-handler.expose.mailto" and set it to "true" if not
"network.protocol-handler.external.mailto" and set it to "false" if not
Restart Firefox
Regards

Could you provide what should I set for:
gecko.handlerService.schemes.mailto.1.uriTemplate ?
To get it to handle mailto links.

this pref (gecko.handlerService.schemes.mailto.1.uriTemplate) is for allows web pages to register themselves as protocol handlers not to set an addons to be used.
Whick version of Simplemail do you use ?
Under Linux, Mac or Windows
Anyway, the settings i've provided should (must) do the trick.
click on this link : a new Simplemail window should (must) open
Regards
