compose.php and HTML5's registerProtocolHandler

[Michael A. Puls II]

I know that compose.php supports ?send_to=&subject=&body=&send_to_cc=&send_to_bcc=

However, is there support for doing it the following way?

http://squirrelmail_server.com/src/compose.php?url=mailto%3Ato%2540example.com%3Fsubject%3Dtest%2520subject%26body%3Dline1%250D%250Aline2%26cc%3Dcc%2540example.com%26bcc%3Dbcc%2540example.com

The reason I ask is that HTML5's registerProtocolHandler supports %s in its template string, which emits the data like that.

This is also how Firefox 3 makes "tools -> options -> applications -> mailto -> Use gmail" work.

For example with "https://mail.google.com/mail/?extsrc=mailto&url=%s" and a mailto URI of "mailto:to%40example.com?subject=test%20subject&body=line1%0D%0Aline2&cc=cc%40example.com&bcc=bcc%40example.com", you'd get "https://mail.google.com/mail/?extsrc=mailto&url=mailto%3Ato%2540example.com%3Fsubject%3Dtest%2520subject%26body%3Dline1%250D%250Aline2%26cc%3Dcc%2540example.com%26bcc%3Dbcc%2540example.com", which if you test, works great.

If SM does not support this, is there any plan to?

Thanks

I see there's "mailto.php?emailaddress=", but it doesn't handle complicated mailto URI data very well or to my liking.

Attached is mailto_protocol_handler2.php. I used mailto.php as a reference.

It produces the exact results I want it to. There are just 2 problems.

1. How do I load compose.php in the right frame AND get compose.php to use ?send_to=&body= etc. like it does when not loaded in a frame?

2. When the user is not logged in, I want to redirect to login.php and retain the send_to=&body= etc. data after the user logs in.

mailto.php does these things, but it uses ?mailtodata=, which uses some funky data format that's percent-encoded, which compose.php decodes etc.

How do I make things work with "send_to=" etc. or how to I convert the to, cc, bcc, body and subject percent-encoded hvalues that I've built into something that ?mailtodata= understands?

If you look at mailto.php, I basically want to support the !$compose_only and $force_login features.

I'm doing this with 1.4.x

Thanks

On a side, when I have a signature set, SM inserts a blank line at the top of the body. How can I remove that?

I figured it out. ?mailtodata= just wants a percent-encoded serialized array of the to, cc, bcc, subject and body values(decoded).

Attached is with everything working. It works much better with the mailto link at <http://shadow2531.com/opera/testcases/mailto/modern_mailto_uri_scheme.html#test> than mailto.php does.
