(MailNews Core :: Composition, defect, P1)

Description

[Chris McAfee]

Linux.
mailto:mcafee?subject=foo should put "foo" on the subject line,
it is just blank for me.

I assume this would be a problem for all platforms.

Comment 2

[Jean-Francois Ducarroz]

I have the feeling that the problem is at the parsing level of the url and not in the compose message part. Anyway, I
will take a look at it...

I have forget who implement mailto feature?

Yes, I'm aware of it. When I implemented it originally, there was no support to
pass on to and subject to mailcompose. But it is there now. I will get to it
after some of my M10 list.

Comment 6

[Jean-Francois Ducarroz]

Right, now you are able to pass any kind of recipient, the subject and the body. Let me know if you have any
problem...

Can not verify.  Mailto links are broken in the browser and messenger.

Verified by clicking said mailto url in a displayed mail message. Compose window
opens properly with subject inserted on subject line
