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

Variable	Value
$FROM$	The complete text in the `From:` field.
$FROMADDR$	Address portion of `From:` field.
$MSGID$	The message-id of the message.
$SUBJECT$	The subject text of the message.
$SUBJECTNA$	The subject text of the message.
$TO$	The email address being converted into a hyperlink. It is NOT the value of the `To:` field. The variable name is misleading.

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=$FROM$;subject=$SUBJECT$;srcid=$MSGID$
</MailToURL>
