[DUG] Default email

[John Bird]

Same here, it definitely opens an email window, does not send.  If it does I am impressed and wonder how you did that! - its not what mailto: is meant to do.

The only client it seemed to fail regularly with was Vista/Windows Mail - it just often never opened the compose email window,  but it works on Windows 7/Windows Live Mail no problem!

Same with this one:

Thanks, but this actually sends the message. I just want a new mail window to pop up without being sent.

This routine does this, in this case there are variables declared elsewhere  Email, Subject, BodyText that are all strings and already populated.

 

Note some mail clients (Outloook Express) don't like the BodyText variable being longer than a dozen or so characters.

 

procedure Tform1.makeEmail;
var
mailto:string;
begin
 mailto:='mailto:'+email+'?Subject=trim(Subject)+'&Body='+BodyText;
  if ShellExecute(Application.Mainform.Handle, 'open',Pchar(mailto), nil, nil, SW_SHOWNORMAL) <= 32 then
    ShowMessage(SysErrorMessage(GetLastError));
end;

Does anyone have any code that would open a New Email window ready for input in the default email client, and populate the To: address?

 

Regards,

Dave.
