Creating an email from a mailto link
Reported by James Grenning | November 21st, 2015 @ 01:06 PM
Markdown and signature insertion is not quite right when an email is created with a mailto link.
If I click this mail to link
<a href="mailto:x@y.com?cc=x1@y.com&body=some%20text&subject=some%20topic">link name</a>
My pertinent settings are:
- Markdown:
- Enable Composer Menu
- Enable markdown for new messages
- Generate HTML body part
-
Signatures
- Default signature placement bottom
-
The initial message created by the mailto link has:
- All the information in the right place
- The cursor at the start of the message body.
- The message is plain text
- There is no signature.
-
When I then touch in the "To:" field
- The message is changed to markdown
- A signature is added at the top, and the body text is below the signature
What I would expect to have happen:
* All the information in the right place * The cursor at the start
of the message body.
* The message is in markdown * The signature is below the body
text.
Please let me know if you need any more information.
thank, James

I also noticed that the from address is ignored for mail to links. I have the "New Message: Default account is" "derived from context". If from is specified in a mailto linkx, it seems to me it should be used.

After reading about 'from' further, it seems that it may not be possible. I use this to generate email from my own website to clients, and I want to be able to choose one of many possible email addresses.
Is there any sort fo script I can create to run on a email before sending it to make sure that I've made all changes to email address (and other stuff possibly).
For example: I could have a line in the beginning of a message I should adjust the email with like:
***** DON'T FORGET TO CHANGE from address *****A script would scan the email and not send it if the string "***** DON'T FORGET TO CHANGE" was in the email.
I tried adding "DON'T FORGET" to the attachments screening and it did not warn me.
Thanks
