Modify to work with mailto protocol handler in chrome #36

Open GoogleCodeExporter opened 9 years ago

GoogleCodeExporter commented 9 years ago

I have a gmail account and 3 goog app mail accounts.  

While the extension works great for mailto links, it does not work with the 
mailto protocol handler in chrome.  So, while a mailto link on a page works 
great, a javascript generated mailto will not work.

This is a real bummer as most email features on sites use javascript to 
construct mailto's.

I'm thinking there needs to be an override of the chrome mailto protocol 
handler that would present to the user the same choices as configured in the 
mailto-chromeextension-options.  Once the user picks the email account, the 
extension can route the mailto data to the appropriate/desired webmail site.

As far as I'm aware, it should also work with Javascript-inserted links. Could 
you please give me an example page where it fails?

Sure.  U will need a doodle.com account to get access to the page where the
mailto fails.  Here's the link

See the attached image for the email icon circled in red on the page that
when I click fails

Thanks! I'll take a look at this soon. Please note that you cannot attach 
attachments to this issue via email. (That is a limitation of Google Code)

I should be more specific.  The mailto spawns a new email window, but, it
skips the account choice prompt/dialog. The result is that the wrong email
account is used.  See attached result page.
