Re: STRPCCMD - MAIL TO

Hello,

The mailto: URI does not allow you to separate e-mail addresses with semicolons. Please use commas instead. For example:

mailto:president@xxxxxxxxxxxxxx,vp@xxxxxxxxxxxxxx?subject=Test

This URI should work fine with ShellExec. So you should be able to do:

rundll32 shell32,ShellExec_RunDLL mailto:...etc...

I don't have a Vista box to test it with, but I would guess that this still works on Vista. (Why wouldn't it?)

The big roadblock you'll run into is that you're using STRPCCMD -- which is REAAAAALLLY not designed for this. STRPCCMD has a 123 character limit. And since the string "rundll32 shell32,ShellExec_RunDLL mailto:" already occupies 42 characters, that leaves you with only about 80 characters in which to fit "a HUGE list of email addresses"

So I would suggest scrapping the STRPCCMD idea and use custom-written software.

I have some experience with STRPCCMD using rundll.exe, to open up either
a explorer window, or a browser window. But am stuck in how to get the
MAILTO to work. I want to pass a HUGE list of email addresses
(separated with a semi-colon).

One roadblock I have found is that how do I know if the PC is XP, VISTA,
since the dll's appear to be different to open the compose mail window.

Has someone done this, and can share their work?
