What I want is to have something like emacsclient -e '(mh-smail-batch "%s")'. where %s gets substituted for the address that I clicked on somewhere. If I put "mailto:to@xxxxxxxxxxx" that's what I get regardless of what I click on. I can see from other scripts (such as this: http://xantus.vox.com/library/post/howto-use-gmail-for-mailto-links-linuxubuntu.html) that %s should be working but it doesn't for me for some reason. best, /Henrik -- users mailing list users@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx To unsubscribe or change subscription options: https://admin.fedoraproject.org/mailman/listinfo/users Guidelines: http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Mailing_list_guidelines
