Mailto: Hyperlinks

Hi,
Does VC 7.1 in the action of the Hyperlink does not like spaces? It makes it as one big text from and on run all those spaces become +. I tried giving %20 instead of spaces but then it prints %20 as is, instead of printing a space!
hints/answers?
Best regards,
Dharmi

Hi Guy,
Have a button "E-mail" on the tableview. To that button I have selected the "hyperlink" predefiend action and in define expression I have
"mailto:" & @mail & "?subject=XXXX 24/7 : Question " & "&body=Dear " & @fullName & ",%0A%0A"
All the spaces is displayed with + or %20. e.g. DearDharmiTanna, yes even in the fullname.
Best regards,
Dharmi

Mailto hyperlink opens an Internet Explorer

Does anyone know how to get around the problem of Internet
Explorer 7 opening a new window when a user clicks on a mailto:
hyperlink that is within an online/published presentation?
I think it is a API problem within PowerPoint.

I get the same issue. A way round it would be to use the
Presenter feature with their email address set. You could show the
presenter, their photo and email address on a particular slide,
perhaps with some instructions. Not ideal and it doesn mean you
need to display the navigation pane.

Mailto: hyperlink opens both a new email message and a new browser window/tab

Hi,
The subject line sums it up. I have form with email hyperlinks, which work fine except that when you click on them they seem to open both a new message in the registered email client, AND a new window/tab in the default web browser.
I prefer using mailto: hyperlinks instead of some other hack to open a new email message.
Does anyone know of a way to get these to work without a new browser tab/window being opened?
Thanks,
Eric

The SMTP settings are separate from the POP or IMAP settings within Mail.app (which can be a little confusing), and the SMTP settings are incorrect. That could be some combination of the username or password, the SMTP server name, the TCP port, whether or not SSL is in use or not. It's more common to have SSL enabled. All have to be correct. The required SMTP server settings do vary by mail provider, unfortunately. You can use Connection Doctor to get more details on the particular error; Window > Connection Doctor, then open the drawer for a look at additional details. If you're not able to resolve the error from that output and from the mail provider's available documentation, and establish the connection, please scrub any personal details from the detailed diagnostics, and post that output here.

MS Word mailto hyperlink headaches

Ive got about 100 customer supplied PDFs made from MS Word using the plug-in with about 50 hyperlinks each, some http others mailto. When you roll-over the mailto links you get the finger cursor, not the arrow-w cursor. On some machines, clicking the mailto link will spawn an Internet Explorer window with an Action or Navigation Canceled message followed by two Outlook email message forms. If Internet Explorer is already open you simply get one Outlook email form and no extraneous browser windows. On other machines the mailto links work normally that is, one email form and no browser window regardless of Internet Explorer being open or not. Out of 4 machines I have here locally in the office, 3 initially exhibited the problem, one did not. Our client has tested 4 machines at their site, all four exhibit the problem. After an entire day of testing locally to find out why some machines work and other dont suddenly two of the machines that initially exhibited the problem joined the one that did not, for absolutely no reason, none of the settings have been changed.
We can fix the PDF documents so that they work with 100% consistency simply opening the document in Acrobat and selecting Create Links from URLs is enough to over-write all of the hyperlinks with Acrobat code. Once that has been done, rolling-over the mailto links produces the arrow-w cursor and clicking the link only spawns one email form, never a browser window, every machine. The only minor downside to this approach is that the links are now subject to Acrobats annoying security warning This document is about to connect to the internet (well, duh, an email link was just clicked). Youd think problem solved and we can just move on, but no, the boss is obsessed with figuring out why some machines work with MS Word encoded hyperlinks, others dont, and some switch without warning or cause.
Just FYI: this problem does not appear to be version specific for any of the applications involved. Ive tried just about every imaginable combination of: Word 2003, 2007, Outlook 2000, 2003, 2007, Acrobat Reader & Pro 7 & 8, IE 6 & 7 and heres something curious: four of the documents were created with QuarkXpress on the Mac, they behave just like the Word docs.

The original documents were customer supplied so Im not sure what options were engaged, however, we were able to reproduce the problem internally and discovered the following:
If the link option is turned off in the PDF Maker preference, Word encoded hyperlinks still pass through to the completed PDF. These links work as described above, finger cursor on rollover, browser launch + 2 email forms on click if IE is closed, 1 email form if IE is already open, Acrobat internet security warning bypassed.
If the link option is turned on all links are Acrobat encoded, arrow-w cursor on rollover, 1 email form on click, no sensitivity to IE status, Acrobat internet security warning displays.
Based on the above observations, it looks like the link option was off when these PDFs were created and all hyperlink activity is from the Word encoding, not Acrobat but I have a hard time explaining why the four documents created in Quark work just like the ones in word, as far as I know Quark does not automatically encode URLs.

CS3 "Mailto:" hyperlink bug?

Hello.
I am developing a training catalog in ID CS3 (all the company will spring for right now). 17 pages. Each page for a different training topic. I put the dates in for a training on one page and use those dates as a hyperlink to a "Mailto" with the subject line indicate that training on those dates. The URL in the hyperlink window, then, is something like, for example:
"mailto:[email protected]?subject=DPR Series 1 Registration"
On each page, I also have a link for questions about that particular training. Each of those links will take the form:
"mailto:[email protected]?subject=DPR Question"
Again, each page has a different training, so the subject in the mailto is different each time.
I'm using unique names in the Hyperlink window so as to be certain that I really am putting in different subject links each time.
Why, then, does an Outlook email from the mailto link off of the PDF of the document always include as the subject whatever happened to be the last subject I typed in?
Has anyone experienced this? Is this a bug? I'm trying to be as careful as I can, but it still happens.
Deadline loomming this coming week...uh-oh!!!!
Thanks.
Glenn

Im geting the same... I tried refreshing cache etc... but no avail...

Creating a mailto: hyperlink when the email has a dot before the at ( @) sign

Hello,
I have a FM 7.2 document that includes an email with a dot in the first part:
[email protected]
When I distill the file and afterwards create the PDF the result is that the mailto includes only the part of the name that is after the dot [[email protected]] --what can I do to fix this? I have to be sure that I'm getting working email hyperlinks in the PDF of the email address in its entirety.
If it matters any, the OS is XP Pro.
Hope somebody can provide advice asap!
MTIA,
Donna

Here is my guess: The "message URL mailto:[email protected]" hypertext marker is either not present in your FM file or is not processed by FrameMaker (which could happen if the syntax is incorrect, the marker type is not hypertext or Acrobat Data is turned off). And you are using Acrobat or Reader 7 to display the PDF.
Starting with Acrobat and Reader 7, there is a preference of "Automatically detect URLs from text" (Edit > Preferences, General; in version 8 it's called "Create Links from URLs"). When this is enabled (default), e-mail and web addresses present in the text are interpreted as links when the PDF is displayed (without any links defined in the authoring program). Acrobat 7.x interpretation of e-mail addresses is incorrect -- the presence of a dot, an underscores or a hyphen disturbs the address (so, as in your case, [email protected] is interpreted as [email protected]).
This was fixed in Acrobat/Reader 8, so if you display the same PDF in that environment the interpreted link will be OK. Nevertheless, I recommend adding/checking the hypertext link in FrameMaker, so that a "real" e-mail link will work as expected with all versions of Acrobat/Reader.

Use VC mailto hyperlink to include subject line taken from any given field

Hi All,
I'm a newbie and would appreciate some help....
...I'm am currently creating a model that uses a number of various BAPI's and displays the info to the user in a variety of tables & forms. I have created a toolbar button that enables an email to be sent to any user who created a sales order ('mailto:'&@email). However the problem I have is that I want to automatically input the order number into the subject line of the email. The order number is available via a field on a table so I don't envisage it being problematic to an expert, but as I don't know the exact coding to use for the formula I am stumped. could somebody please help....
Kind Regards,
Naz Ghafoor

Hi Naz,
try this one:
('mailto:'&@email&'?subject='@myOrderNumber)
Best Regards,

Inserting hyperlinks (http: and mailto:) in text/plain email JavaMail

Hello
I am trying to write some very lightweight email classes based on the JavaMail API.
I regularly get emails where the header shows a MIME of text/plain and yet there are both http: and mailto: hyperlinks in the message body. I would like to emulate this, but I've looked all day for how to do this. Please could someone point me in the right direction?
Thanks

If the body is text/plain, then per definition there are no hyperlinks in the content.
The e-mail client can (and usually does) format URLs as hyperlinks when it displays that content, 'though. You could probably use regular expressions to recognize anything that looks like a URL in the text and format that accordingly.

Mailto links

I was working with a webpage that makes me fill out a form and then basically does a "mailto" with that form information upon a submit action. I get the following error message when I do that submit though:
Safari can’t open the specified address.
Safari can’t open “mailto:[email protected]” because Mac OS X doesn’t recognize Internet addresses starting with “mailto:”.
The funny thing is that the Contact Me field has an embedded href=mailto hyperlink on that same page and it DOES open up Mail just like it should.
This leads me to believe that Safari knows how to handle the mailto action but maybe the form is written in a non-compatible way? It Does work on Firefox.

Hi Doug,
Can you provide us the webpage you working on that gave the Safari message.
Than we can try it to, if it's you Safari browser or is it ALL Safari browsers that get the same message?

Callto:// hyperlink in Numbers (and Excel)

I have a spreadsheet table that includes phone numbers.
I would like to create an extra column with hyperlinks that when clicking on them will automatically use my prefered VOIP application.
Issue 1:
When I use the callto:// hyperlink in Numbers '09 (2009 when was that again) it doesnt do anything. After that I can't create any hyperlink at all anymore (even after closing and restarting numbers) what is the prober way to get to do this?
1a. In Excel 2011 it automatically adds file:// in front of the callto:// which of course does not work
Any suggestions on how to add other then http://, file:// or mailto:// hyperlinks in excel 2011
Issue 2:
when typing callto:// directly in the browser, to goes to Skype. How to change the default program used for the callto:// statement?
Thanks in advance for you help.

Hyperlinks are limited to http and mailto. Excel has the additional ability to link to files. You will not be able to create callto hyperlinks.
Your question about how to select your default callto app might not get answered here in the Numbers forum. You might want to ask that in a different forum that has a wider audience. Or maybe an Internet search on callto to see what parameters can be specified.

X Pro crashes when clicking Properties

When I right-click on Properties on an object I get an "Adobe Acrobat has stopped working" error message and then Acrobat X Pro crashes. The PDF I'm working with is a legacy PDF is apparently created from CorelDRAW rendered in Acrobat 7 format. I'm trying to create a mailto hyperlink which allows the user to email the document. I have updated Acrobat X Pro as well as used the Repair function but to no avail. I am able perform this function on other PDFs that were created in InDesign, for example, but not these particular ones. Because I have 45 of these legacy PDFs, the origins which are probably lost to the organization, I would like to know how I can still accomplish my work.

Hi travisc74509405,
Could you please let me know what version of OS are you using.
Also, let me know how much RAM and free hard disk space is available on your machine.
What exact dot version of Acrobat X do you have? You might check for updates under the Help menu to use the latest patch i.e. 10.1.13
Hope to hear from you.

Create an email in the viewer

When i tap a button or link to write an email in the ipad viewer, this action automatically redirects me to the native iPad mail application, leaving the Adobe Viewer.
Is it possible to execute this action (create an email) without leaving the Viewer?
Thank you.
Ricardo Furtado

The only other way to do it is to write an HTML page that has fields on it for the e-mail and then uses a back-end server thing to send the e-mail out. Mailto: hyperlinks always open in the native mail application on the device.

SRM Offline Approval via Blackberries is not working

SRM Experts,
We are using SRM 5.0, PI-7.0. We don't have SAP MI (mobile infrastructure) configured in the landscape. Whenever user approves the Shopping cart from blackberry, it does not work. If user approves from MS-Outlook, it works. I heard that we can approve SC from blackberry without configuring MI in the landscape.
I also observed that when SC is approved via blackberry, it does not have subject line and workitem number information whereas when it is approved via Outlook it has. Any idea why subject line and workitem number information is missing via blackberry?
Can someone please help!
Points will be rewarded..
Thanks in advance!
MP

Hello,
I am assuming that you are using the standard out of the box offline approval process in SRM. What you are saying is that when someone clicks on the link using Blackberry, it does generate an encrypted response but does not populate subject text?
If that is the case please check the version of Blackberry operating system. Try using the functionality from a latest Blackberry model with latest device software installed.
Earlier versions of the BBerry devices/OS did not even support mailto: hyperlink inserted in the approval request mail.
Abhay
PS: I have tested this functionality using Blackberry Pearl and I did not come across any problem of subject line not getting populated. The encrypted approval response also gets populated correctly.
Hope this helps.

How to send a e-mail from folio with subj and text

Hello!
I need send an e-mail from folion. I knew how to make hypperlink but a need not only subj and address. I need a text there. Can somebody explain how it's should be?
Best regards

You can make an object have a mailto: hyperlink that has subject and body variables included.
It would look like this:
mailto:[email protected]?subject=Subject-text-goes-here&body=Body-text-goes-here
Fill in the variables with your own text, and make sure to replace spaces in your subject and body text with figure dashes.

I would like to go to firefox to send emails automatically. for example, to reply to an oline item for sale, my system takes me to safri eamil. how can i chnage my settings to go to firefox. thanks. tim

not too sure what else that I could add to give you more info.

Firefox doesn't do email, it's a web browser.
See this to change the email program or webmail provider that Firefox uses for '''mailto''' hyperlinks on webpages. <br />
