Sending Mailto: links to the web client in OS X

[mryan]

Does anyone have any experience making it so that mailto: links get taken to the web client in OS X?

I've poked around a bit, and found Webmailer, gets me most of the way there.

However, I don't know the URL scheme to point to...

Any advice?

Try:
http://server/zimbra/?view=compose&s....&to=...&body=...
Where .. is the content.

It worked like a charm.

Hadn't realized you'd posted here. Howdy, neighbor. :-)

In local follow up discussion we decided that for at least Zimbra 4.5.5, it is very significantly faster to use https://server/h/search?action=compo...com&subject=Hi

The improved JavaScript packaging introduced v5.0beta1 significantly improves the speed, but the v4.5.5 HTML Lite client still wins.

Anyone know what the syntax is for adding the cc, bcc, and body tags?

Thanks

**UPDATE**

Never mind. I had a typo in the line. A } instead of a ] and that killed the rest of the code... All set. FYI, here is my mailto code:

https://server/h/search?action=compose&to=[to]&cc=[cc]&bcc=[bcc]&subject=[subject]&body=[body]

I see this suggestion all over the place, but this doesn't account for URL length limits. I'd like to be able to send my users to their email client with a pre-populated message, problem is that sometimes its > 2048 characters so the get length is exceeded... anyone have a solution for this. I tried post's to the same url and nothing seems to work. I'll hunt deeper soon unless someone else knows right off.
