LiveCode Forums.

Hi ,

it seems that launch url "mailto:" does not like characters like ü ö
when thunderbird opens a new email to send, then the Body which contains the whole message seems not to parse

as revMail does'nt seem to matter and parse the message without a problem.

But i need to use url "mailto:" because with revMail you can't BCC someone

two questions come up:
1. is this a problem of Livecode 7.1.4 or from the email client?
2. how can i use url "mailto:" and parse correctly characters like ü ö
3. Why the H*ll is Bcc not part of revMail? I think it is just incomplete

thanks for any help on this.

You can force the Bcc in revMail by using the href attribute &bcc=, try this…
Works for me in LC 7 and 8.

Great great great!

I tried similair before, but did not work.
Bcc works now with Revmail and also the characters ü ö are now parsed correctly.

Thanks Paul!

What changed between the working and non-working states?

Hi Richard,

- launch url "mailto:" not parsing words contaning ü ö, meaning the body message is totally empty in the to send email
- RevMail is parsing correct so the whole body message is in the new opened email

if you refer to the way the line RevMail was written by Paul or myself.
I can't show it because i already have overwritten the line.

But i wrote the &bcc at the wrong part after the last comma and between () to put a local in between too like (&bcc=tThisEmail) , but Livecode started directly that it was wrong. Don't know exactly anymore.
Anyway i though'd to difficult also

Thanks!

Ok did some more tests as it was ok on Thunderbird but not on Outlook...

So on Outlook the bcc emailaddress was set on the cc addressbar like this &bcc=email@address.com

So i just used RevMail and added &bcc= after the first emailaddress like this:
revMail MainEmail@address.com &bcc=bccEmail@address.com,,tSubject,tBodyMessage

so &bcc before the first comma.
Now the bcc is at the correct bcc address bar.

Great that's working ok now with Outlook also.

btw: i noticed that with Outlook launch url "mailto:" and characters like ü ö are parsed and the rest of the text too. Except those characters are then replaced by a black square window character with a ? in it. (in Thunderbird the complete text was not parsed)

So there is also difference between parsing to Thunderbird or Outlook.
