I was looking at the scripts and the docs to check how the attachment=, subject= options in the command line can be implemented in the scripts, but looks like MT uses the remote control of unix mozilla, documented at http://www.mozilla.org/unix/remote.html the mailto hence works, but sadly it doesn't seem to implement the message_options to the -compose cmd line argument ala http://www.mozilla.org/docs/command-line-args.html Giridhar -- Y Giridhar Appaji Nag | http://www.appaji.net/ -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
