Hey there,
I'm using my uni webmail service as my main inbox. Currently, I don't have a POP account so I can't use email software on my computer. I'm wondering how I could redirect an email hyperlink (mailto://) to my webmail.
The address for getting there is easy: domain.com/email/compose.html?to=bob%40bobthebuilder.com, I'm just not sure how I can do it.
Here are 2 ideas I've come with, but I'm not sure how to implement them:
What do you think?

Here are 2 ideas I've come with, but I'm not sure how to implement them:
- Have the browser (or other software) replace mailto:// in the html code of every webpage to http://domain.com/email/compose.html?to=
- Change the file type association of mailto:// from outlook (or whatever) to a simple (vbs?) script that takes the argument (address) and opens my browser to http://domain.com/email/compose.html?to=address
What do you think?
