Pegasus Mail sendto support
Last modified: 2004-04-26 09:33:48 UTC
the support of Pagasus Mail in the File sendto function should be improved. It is not possible in the current version I use. I think it could be done with more open architecture to enter parameters to the Mail program. In the moment I only can enter a path to a mailprogram if I choose one of the supported programs in the list. It would be nice to have a choice of "any other" program and an additional field where you can enter the necessary parameters for the attached file. Pegasus has the wsendto utility, which can work with a to: paraameter and a file attachment parameter (2nd parameter) or a mailto: link. thank you very much for your attention. Werner
cp->obr: I guess this is covered by i20364
Actually we are planing to remove the command line option for mail clients entirely for OpenOffice.org 2.0 on Windows because all major E-Mail clients have support for the Microsoft Messaging API (MAPI). From a quick search for "pegasus mail MAPI" I got the impression that Pegasus Mail supports at least a subset of Simple MAPI, which should be sufficient to make it work as "default e-mail client" in OpenOffice.org 1.1. If it does not, I think the right way to fix this is to enhance MAPI support in Pegasus Mail.
Closing this issue. Feel free to re-open this task if you disagree.
