Earlier I tried to answer a question Mitja Lakner had about sending an Email
message from within Mathematica. I have learned that he wants Mathematica
start a message and autonomously include some data from the notebook in the
message. I suppose that could be done if one can write a C or C++ program
which will send a message with something specific in the message. Once you
have this program Mathematica could execute it via MathLink.
----------------------
In my earlier message I left something out of the FrontEndExcecute[...]
expression that I provided. I think the code below is corrected.
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["mailto:ersektr at navair.navy.mi
l"],None}]}]
---------------------
As I said before 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.
