MHonArc Resource List

MAILTOURL


Syntax

Envariable

M2H_MAILTOURL=URL-template

Element

<MAILTOURL>
URL-template
</MAILTOURL>

Command-line Option

-mailtourl URL-template


Description

The MAILTOURL defines the URL template for hyperlinked e-mail addressed in message headers when the MAILTO resource is active.

NOTE

The MAILTOURL resource has different rules for variable expansion. If a variable does not exactly match the set of variables available for the MAILTOURL, the variable text will be taken literally as part of the element content. Therefore, a single "$" can be used to represent a "$" character.

Also, variables in the MAILTOURL should NOT have ":NU" modifier. This will prevent the variables from be recognized. MHonArc will automatically treat the replacement value as a part of a URL string.


Default Setting

mailto:$TO$

Resource Variables

VariableValue
$FROM$ The complete text in the From
$MSGID$ The message-id of the message.
$SUBJECT$ The subject text of the message.
$SUBJECTNA$ The subject text of the message.
$TO$ The complete text in the To field.

Examples

The following example defines how MAILTOURL can be used to have e-mail addresses linked to a CGI program:

<MailToURL>
/cgi-bin/mailform.cgi?to=$TO$;subject=$SUBJECT$;srcid=$MSGID$
</MailToURL>
