I'm considering writing a peculiar claws-mail plugin, and one of the needed features is that I need to be able to "come back to the email" from an external program... possibly after it has been moved/filed/renamed. AFAIK, this is customarily done by custom url schemes ala xdg-open. I've poked through the interface, clawsker, bugzilla, and what documentation I could find, but was not able to find any references to any sort of url handling for claws or its ancestor. I thought about mucking about in the code, but thought it would be better to just ask: Does this sort of thing already exist somewhere? and is it accessible via the plugin system? If not, something as simple as simple and unchained as a uuid: claws://91b48277-00e6-42cd-a6d6-8ce461f778a1 ...or (a more brittle, but possibly easier to implement) option would be an account-folder-message id tuple: claws://4/7/295576 Either would do wonders for this prospect. Thank you, in advance, for your time/consideration.
Please use either the mailing list or IRC for discussion. This is strictly a bug and feature request tracker and not a discussion forum. Thanks! http://www.claws-mail.org/MLs.php
The question was meant to be polite (in case someone already had worked on this), rather than a request for help, as I was pretty sure the feature did not exist in claws mail. After further educating myself, I find that the *.desktop file only shows claws-mail as listening for the 'mailto' protocol: * MimeType=x-scheme-handler/mailto So can this simply be considered a feature request, rather than discussion?
