| Hi all! If you copy and paste the following line into your webbrowser, it should open up your E-Mail client and create a new message. So far so good... mailto: Pocket%20Radio%20Player%20%3cpocketradioplayer@... When I use the same string in combination with the OpenUrl() command, the string gets truncated and nothing happens. Is there a workaround to prevent this? I'm trying to create E-Mails from within my app with a custom text. Grisu |

| You used to be able to call driver.OpenURL() to bypass all the parsing stuff. |

| Wow, that did it! Seems like my code wasn't faulty at all and PRP has a new feature... :)  I just hope this stuff works under Linux and Mac as well. Thanks Gfk! |
| ||
| Keep in mind that mailto: only works on PC's that have a local email client installed & configured -- something that's no longer true on the majority of computers, where people use hotmail/gmail/yahoo mail/whatever these days... In which case the mailto: link will result in an error stating that you have no mail program configured. You may want to list a support email explicitly in your program for those people. |
| ||
| Good idea! I wanted to make it as easy as possible for the users as most of them are quite lazy. |
| ||
| Could you not just have your program submit the report to an SQL database, instead of going down the e-mail route? That way it'd just work for everybody. |

| I don't know how to set up a SQL server or how to send / manage the data. I guess there's a Bruecy (tm) module for this stuff already. Will put this on my to-do-list. The updated build can be grabbed from the link below, if anyone is interested: http://www.mediafire.com/download/f4t6jlm5nx4z58u/prp_win32_n.zip |
