I use mailto: together with ShowURL() to create an email with the default mail client (Xojo, 2013r2 web application).
This works well on Windows, IE, Outlook, but with OSX/Chrome/Mail it does not seems work. When I launch this URL with OSX/Chrome/Mail, the to_address field of mail is filled with richard@mail.com&subject=test. It does not seem to recognize the subject parameters.
When I change the URL to:
it works OK with OSX/Chome/Mail but not with Windows/IE/Outlook
Can someone explain this or do I use an incorrect syntaxis?
The first one is the correct syntax. I suspect its either a bug in Chrome or that Googles decided to do something different, which will be a major pain in the butt because its been done the other way for as long as I can remember.
If you have a gmail/google apps account, Chrome tries to rewrite mailto urls to work with their webmail interface. Doing this to urls in a WE app may be the problem. Try making a weblink on a page with the normal mailto setup, then hover your mouse over it in the running app and see if the url has been changed.
