Support simpleemail: protocol #252

Open mseliger opened 6 years ago

mseliger commented 6 years ago

I use ScrapBook X with Pale Moon and I use the firefox add-on Simple-Mail to read my e-mail. Sometimes I'll get mails with an attachment. This attachment has the following protocol:

There are open fine in Pale Moon, but when I want to save the address and its content to ScrapBook X only the files index.html and index.dat are created, but the pdf or the image is not captured. If I use the address file:///P:/Documents/SimpleMail/attachments/1512497226131/xxx.pdf then everything works as expected. Perhaps it is possible to customize ScrapBook X to capture every protocol - regardless what is shown in the URL address bar.

simplemail: is not a protocol supported by native Firefox. Although it's technically possible, we are unlikely to implement it since we can't afford to do all the code jobs to support special protocols that other addons use. Maybe write another addon for ScrapBook X?
