Send to mail recipient

[Guest]

Where is the information about the path to the mail client used when Send
to>Mail recipient is invoked?

Background:
I have the misfortune to have to deal with Lotus Notes as an email client.
In order to install Notes in a way that functions in a roaming user
environment, it is necessary to install part of the software to a network
drive that is mapped to a different location for each user. (Although it has
a "multiuser" install, it installs data uselessly into the non-roaming "local
settings" structure).

To run Notes once installed in this way, an argument specifying the path to
an ini file must be passed to the executable, e.g. "notes.exe
h:\notes\notes.ini", otherwise Notes does not run.

This has meant changing the target in all shortcuts, and also in the
registry at HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Classes\mailto\shell\open\command for
the mailto protocol and those for at HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Clients\Mail
for the system default mail client info.

However I've not got Send to>Mail recipient to work, hence I'm trying to
fing out where this information is hidden away.

Hello,

Sendto works only for Outlook/Outlook Express I think?

No, send to works with whatever the default mail client is. I'll have a look
through the registry keys mentioned in the linked article though.

The question I'm asking is a little bit more involved than that. The Send
to>mail recipient shell extension doeis invoking notes.exe, but what I need
to do is get it to invoke Notes and pass it a command line variable, e.g.
"notes.exe =h:\notes\notes.ini", which the GUI applet you mention certainly
does not allow.

Do you know where the Set Program Access and Defaults applet reads and
stores this information?

I'm not sure that's possible, BMC.

I haven't a clue. Sorry.
