Open Web URL, and Windows Terminal Server?

[Tony Ringsmuth]

This is a Windows Terminal Server Question more than a 4D question:

I have a particular application that runs for the users in Windows Terminal
Server.

I use the command Open Web URL to initiate the sending of an email: Using
the "MailTo:..." syntax.

Of course, in the remote, WTS session, Outlook opens up and wants to
connect.  BUT, I would like the default mail client ON THE LOCAL MACHINE to
open.  Is there any way to WTS, or any other setting, to help this to open
on the local machine instead of in the RDC session?

TIA,

as far as I know, you can't do this "out of the box". With some
scripting, however, it might be feasible.
- in stead of launching the client, write a Batch file containing the
line START MAILTO:ADDRESS@DOMAIN and save the file with just this single
line on a drive that is mapped to the Client PC.
- on the Client PC, have a utility scan the folder that the TS is mapped
to every second, and, if a Batch file is found, run it and delete it.

These "continuously scan a folder" tools can be found on the internet,
or you can write one yourself.
