How to pass page url and title to custom email program?

more options

I'm using a custom email sending program (https://www.haztek-software.com/applications/network/smtp-mail-sender/). It's much smaller and lower overhead than outlook, thunderbird etc.

I was wondering if Firefox calls the helper email program with environment variables containing the page URL and title? How would I pass these?

Thank you

Hi gamblodar, what happens when you call up the Email Link feature? You can find that in the following places:

  • In the address bar, ••• > Email Link...
  • On the classic menu bar, File > Email Link...

If you haven't locked Firefox in to a particular email program or site, it should offer the option to use known email programs/sites, and a button at the bottom to choose a different application on your system.

If you need to change this feature back to letting you choose an email program/site, go to the section of the Options page described in the following article and select "Always Ask":

Change the program used to open email links

Next, can your program handle the input? Firefox will send it something like:

mailto:?subject=blah&body=blah

This hasn't changed for years, so presumably the vendor can advise you on compatibility.
