Dave806 — Thu, 16 May 2013 10:17:37 GMT

When I click on a mailto: address, it brings up my Hotmail web site with a new message to be composed then it puts the right email address in the to: field then it disappears from the to: field.Also, when I use a shortcut email key on my keyboard that is setup to bring up my default email handler, it brings up the correct Hotmail web site but then composes a new message with a "sample" to: address and the following in the message body: Thank you for using GmailDefaultMaker. This is a testing message that is shown when you run the mailto handler application directly.So, in summary, thank you for your DefaultMaker. It's doing most of what I need. But can you suggest any ways to clear up the above issues?Thanks,Dave

New Post: Feature request: specify non-default browser

avelev — Sat, 23 Feb 2013 18:56:09 GMT

The app is terrific. Thanks.

It currently uses the default browser. It would be great if it can be configurable to launch the web-mail in a specified browser different from the default browser.

Some web-mail sites work better in one browser than another. Some people use a different browser for mail than the rest of the browsing. One reason is security as a lot of websites track across domains.

Thanks

New Post: Content wording in Firefox/Tools/Options/Applications/Mailto

emdwayne — Thu, 14 Feb 2013 03:14:54 GMT

Hi, i recently downloaded Gmaildefaultmaker and it seems to be working for my AOL mail. But i was wondering if the "Content" wording in Firefox Tools Options under Applications for Mailto should read C'\Program Files (x86)\gmailfaultmaker\etc instead of USE AOL MAIL?

I never saw a "setup" for Gmaildefaultmaker. Nothing happened after the download and some short version of an install. It was not listed in my Programs at Start, nor on my Desktop. So I went to c:\Programs to find it. When I click on the applications, it opens a Compose window for AOL in my browser.

Did it install correctly? It's working correctly so perhaps it's not supposed to say Use Aol Mail.

It's just that a few months ago I clicked on something that asked if I wanted my default to be AOL Mail and that set up an additional Mailto option saying Use AOL Mail. I loved it. But when Firefox did it's automatic upgrade, it disappeared. I tried contacting AOL but they were not able to help at all, although they tried very hard...

When I was looking into other registry mods to do basically what gmaildefaultmaker does, some were using substitutions for the at (@) sign. I wonder if the @ sign is causing Hotmail to not work correctly in terms of putting the email address in the To: field? The substitution is %40 for @, but I don't know how you parse and put back together the rest of the email address. A link on the substitution is http://stackoverflow.com/questions/9631433/converted-to-40-in-get

Here's a screen shot of the other issue when I push the email button on my keyboard and it brings up Hotmail as the default mailer.
