* OS X: using emacs as default mailer? @ 2005-06-28 0:30 John Owens 2005-06-28 2:00 ` Sean O'Rourke 2005-06-29 10:55 ` YAMAMOTO Mitsuharu 0 siblings, 2 replies; 8+ messages in thread From: John Owens @ 2005-06-28 0:30 UTC (permalink / raw) I'd like to use emacs as my default mailer in OS X. When I click on a mailto: link, I'd like gnuclient to call compose-mail. I have this working manually from the command line no problem. What I believe I need to do is to run OS X's Mail.app and then select the default mailer within the preferences. However, a small shell script I wrote to call gnuclient does NOT appear (or rather, it's greyed out, not valid) in the select-a-new-application dialog that allows me to select a new app default. Surely this is a problem others have run into ... any advice would be appreciated on what sort of app would work. (One suggestion: http://sourceforge.net/projects/mailtomutt , but that's pretty mutt-specific.) JDO ^ permalink raw reply [flat|nested] 8+ messages in thread

Unfortunately, it's tangled with my local drag-n-drop changes, which need some work to better cooperate with X DnD. What you need to do is: * add a CFBundleURLTypes entry to Emacs.app's Info.plist, like so: <key>CFBundleURLTypes</key> <array> <dict> <key>CFBundleURLName</key> <string>Email Address URL</string> <key>CFBundleURLSchemes</key> <array> <string>mailto</string> </array> </dict> <!-- ... --> </array> * Handle the 'GURL' event in src/macterm.c (see code at end for an example which handles the Mac-specific bits), adding this to init_required_apple_events: err = AEInstallEventHandler('GURL', 'GURL', NewAEEventHandlerUPP ((AEEventHandlerProcPtr) do_ae_geturl), 0L, false); * As you suggested, go into Mail.app and change your default mail application. You might be able to do this with a shell script or applescript ("on GetURL do ...", I think) by making it into an app and adding the appropriate entries to its Info.plist, but I couldn't get that to work when I tried it before. Good luck. /s static pascal OSErr do_ae_geturl (const AppleEvent *pAE, AppleEvent *reply, long refcon) { OSErr err; AEDesc desc; int i, nitems; err = AEGetParamDesc (pAE, '----', 'list', &desc); if (err != noErr) return err; err = AECountItems (&desc, &nitems); if (err != noErr) goto err_count; for (i = 1; i <= nitems; i++) { Size size; DescType type; Lisp_Object url; if (AESizeOfNthItem (&desc, i, &type, &size) != noErr) continue; url = make_uninit_string (size); if (AEGetNthPtr (&desc, i, typeChar, NULL, NULL, SDATA (url), size, NULL) != noErr) continue; mac_add_drag ("url", "open", url); } err_count: AEDisposeDesc (&desc); return err; } ^ permalink raw reply [flat|nested] 8+ messages in thread

Unfortunately no, since the way I got this to work was by going through the drag-n-drop machinery and treating the GURL event as a dropped URL. Once it gets to the dnd functions (dnd.el) as a "mailto:" url, you can then add a mail handler to your browse-url-browser-function alist (or let w3m-browse-url do the right thing). Sorry this is so sketchy -- I'll try to make a cleaned-up patch for it (both DnD and mailto: handling) soonish. /s ^ permalink raw reply [flat|nested] 8+ messages in thread

Unfortunately, it's tangled with my local drag-n-drop > changes, which need some work to better cooperate with X DnD. How about the attached patch? It enables us to register Apple event handlers at the Lisp level as follows: (the code is included in the patch) (put 'internet-event 'mac-apple-event-class "GURL") (put 'get-url 'mac-apple-event-id "GURL") (defun mac-ae-get-url (event) (interactive "e") (let* ((ae (mac-event-ae event)) (parsed-url (url-generic-parse-url (mac-ae-text ae)))) (if (string= (url-type parsed-url) "mailto") (url-mailto parsed-url) (error "Unsupported URL scheme: %s" (url-type parsed-url))))) (define-key mac-apple-event-map [internet-event get-url] 'mac-ae-get-url) Then Emacs can receive kAEInternetEventClass/kAEGetURL Apple events as in the following form, and it is handled by the command `mac-ae-get-url' above. (mac-apple-event [internet-event get-url] ("aevt" ("----" "TEXT" . "mailto:mituharu@math.s.chiba-u.ac.jp?In-Reply-To=wl8y0tjuti.wl%25mituharu%40math.s.chiba-u.ac.jp&Subject=Re%3A%20OS%20X%3A%20using%20emacs%20as%20default%20mailer%3F"))) The patch is also trying to avoid Lisp object allocations (with respect to Apple events) during asynchronous input handling. http://lists.gnu.org/archive/html/emacs-devel/2005-11/msg01457.html YAMAMOTO Mitsuharu mituharu@math.s.chiba-u.ac.jp [-- Attachment #2: diff-apple-events.gz --] [-- Type: application/octet-stream, Size: 7668 bytes --] [-- Attachment #3: Type: text/plain, Size: 142 bytes --] _______________________________________________ Emacs-devel mailing list Emacs-devel@gnu.org http://lists.gnu.org/mailman/listinfo/emacs-devel ^ permalink raw reply [flat|nested] 8+ messages in thread
