Launch the default email client?

Is there a library feature to have a CVI application launch the default email client?  I can get pretty close to what I want using InetLaunchDefaultWebBrowser(), as below:

InetLaunchDefaultWebBrowser ("mailto:[email protected]");

But it would be nice if I didn't have to launch the web browser of the user as an intermediate step.  Thank you.

You can try ShellExecute (Shell32.Lib must be included in your project CVI)

example:

ShellExecute (0 / * handle * /, "", "mailto:[email protected]", NULL, NULL, SW_SHOWNORMAL);

It is a work on XP perfectly (thunderbird on my PC), but I'm not sure working on win2000 and old system

    Thank you for your help

    Hi James -.

    This is the default behavior of browsers when you handle the mailto link.

    Please keep in mind almost half of Web site visitors do not have an email client because they use mobile devices or computers in public or web-based email like Gmail, messaging, MSN etc.

    Please do not feed the spammers robots. Recommended is to use a HTML element 'form' in conjunction with a script of processing forms aside server. Ask your webhost if they provide one for you.

    Original title: default mail Client

    Sometimes a website has a button to send no given address. When I hit the button I get the message "the default mail client is not properly installed".  What does that mean? I do not see in any Windows mail information page.

    Are you doing your e-mail on a web site? If so, you probably haven't
    set up a default email client. The e-mail client is the program
    you use for mail, not a website. Standard e-mail programs are
    Outlook.exe, Windows Live Mail, Thunderbird, strong Agent, etc. He
    are a lot of choices.

    I have a software which sends emails for reports. The software calls the default mail client (Thunderbird) and sends the e-mail. However, this open Thunderbird and gets in the way. Is there anyway this could send the email without opening Thunderbird? Can it run in the background like outlook express? It should be closed after the e-mail was sent.

    Hello

    You have a common problem of Windows 7. You must set a default e-mail program and Windows 7 did not come with a pre-installed email program.

    The default e-mail program must be installed on the computer - for example Windows Mail (Vista), Windows Live Mail, Thunderbird, etc.

    Windows Live Mail is popular

    Unlike Windows XP & Vista, Win7 does not have a default email Client. [What were thinking?]

    You will need to install a (e.g. MS Outlook;) Windows Live Mail; Thunderbird) , and then set it as a default for mail in CUSTOM (<>) article in Set Program Access and defaults of the computer , then restart your computer before any function send to or MailTo will become available.

  • "Could not perform this operation because the default mail client is not properly installed" when you use Windows Mail

    Original title: loss of entrance of Protocol in the list of saved files

    I use an old Toshiba laptop of two year with Vista as an operating system. It came with a trial version of Microsoft Office already installed. I had no use for it then after the trial expires I uninstalled. This seems to have created a minor problem with the e-mail program. When I visit a Web site and click on 'Contact us' I get an error message as follows "cannot perform this operation because the default mail client is not properly installed." I suspect strongly as during the uninstallation of office he removed a protocol in the list entry, similarly, the bottom of the list of the saved files. A check with other similar computers with Vista installed seems to confirm this. If someone at - it a quick fix to this problem? I don't want to resort to installing a whole new email software to fix this minor problem if I can avoid it.

    Hello Karena R, yesterday, I downloaded and installed Windows Live Mail, and I must say that I prefer Windows Mail Live Mail program. After making sure that Live Mail is the deafult for all messaging functions and that the entry "Mail Protocol" was now back to the list of saved files, I checked the problem mentioned in my original post. He is not fixed! Another small problem is fixed now if. In my "drafts" mailbox I have some e-mails stored there and when I click on one of them upwards now comes an email with the appropriate address inserted in the address line. Who could not before. I used to get this error message, which is now the new title of my post. So why the difference when I click on email address that I find on Web sites? Now, I also find that by Michael following the instructions (below), I do not see an entry "mailto" but his suggestion to step d. type in "URL Protocol" is not appropriate because it is already there. The installation of an entirely new email software should have my computer all the necessary entries for the new program to function properly in all respects. So what's happening? It begins to look as if uninstalling the program Office has pulled something real Vista operating system.

    It's a good thing, I thought of the research on other boards for my missing post.

    HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\Classes\mailto

    c. in the Edit menu, select new, then clickstring goodwill.

    d. type of Protocol of URL as the name of the new string value

    e. exit the registry editor

  • E-mail response in outlook express using the default email

    The default email in Outlook Express address is * address email is removed from the privacy *

    When we click on answer the e-mail, the e-mail address of the sender indicates * address email is removed from the privacy *, instead of * address email is removed from the privacy *

    We tried to change the (name) e-mail account and the information of the user (name) in the aphabetic order (numeric). But it does not work. We have also tried to change in order that e-mail account has been set up. Yet once, it does not work.

    Your colleague suggested changing the rules of Message. But it may apply here.

    Please let know us how we can fix this problem.

    You can set default email under Tools | Accounts | Mail | Properties.  OE will then use it by default, but if the e-mail was sent to a different e-mail address, when you reply, OE will use this e-mail address and not the default value in the response.  If you cannot set the e-mail by default, or if OE doesn't know it, then you can go to file | Identities and install a new identity and add your mail accounts to ensure that identity and that should solve the problem.
