mailto.readme
THIS SCRIPT WILL RUN ON BOTH REGISTERED AND UNREGISTERED COPIES OF AEMAIL
The mailto.aem script is an ARexx script that can be used to compose and
send email "mailto" messages from your browser. AEMail can be running (or
not) when this script is called.
This script is more sophisticated than the one described in the .guide
file. It can be used with any browser and will automatically load AEMail
if it is not already loaded.
HOW TO IMPLEMENT
----------------
Move the mailto.aem script to the REXX: directory.
In your browser set the "mailto" function to call an external program. The
program call should be "rx mailto.aem". This calls a ARexx script. The
parameters for this call should be: email-address public-screen. You
should use the appropriate tokens to call these items. For IBrowse, the
call would be:
rx mailto.aem %h IBROWSE
The %h token is used for the "mailto" address. IBrowse does not have a
token for passing the public screen so you have to explicitly give it.
With IBrowse the public screen name is IBROWSE.
The screen name is required to bring the browser's screen forward after the
mail is composed and sent. If the screen name is invalid, a requester will
appear on the AEMail screen indicating it was bad and displaying what was
passed.
You must have installed AEMail with the standard AEMail Install script so
that the AEMail_dir environmental variable is set properly. That is where
the script knows where to find the AEMail program if it has not been
previously loaded.
HOW TO USE
----------
Clicking on a "mailto" address in the browser will bring up the AEMail
compose window with the "mailto" address placed in the "To:" string. You
then compose the message as you would normally from AEMail. When you click
on any of the action gadgets at the bottom on the window, the browser
screen will be brought forward over the AEMail screen. AEMail will remain
running and can be used again for another mailto.
You can always bring the AEMail screen forward by clicking on the screen
depth gadget in your browser.
If AEMail is not loaded when you click on the "mailto" in the browser page,
AEMail will be automatically loaded. It will take a few seconds to load
AEMail if it has not already been loaded.
