Mitja Lakner asked how to send an email directly from Mathematica. Lets say you want to send an Email to me at ersektr at navair.navy.mil When I evaluate FrontEndExcecute[...] shown below on my PC (which has MS-Outlook installed) an Email to myself is started and I can start typing a message. ---------------------- FrontEndExecute[{FrontEnd`NotebookLocate[{URL["ersektr at navair.navy.mil"],Non e}]}] --------------------- On the other hand you might want to make a hyperlink that starts an email message. You should be able to easily make a hyperlink that evaluates FrontEndExcecute[...] above. Using Mathematica under Windows 98 I can do the following, and I suspect the steps are very similar under your operating system. -- In a text cell I type the text that I want to use for the hyperlink. -- Next I select the text I want to use for the hyperlink, and make the menu selection ( Input | Create Hyperlink ). -- In the field for "Other Notebook or URL" type mailto:ersektr at navair.navy.mil and click on OK. -- I then have a button that will start an Email to myself when it's clicked on. ------------------------ Regards, Ted Ersek Download Mathematica tips, tricks from http://www.verbeia.com/mathematica/tips/Tricks.html
