External email client compose window doesn't open from mailto
Recently developed problem (perhaps since a new clean install of everything on SSD):
- Opera 11.62/12b or Waterfox 12 browsers, email client (Sylpheed) set as Windows default, set as Opera and Waterfox mailto default with the following command/parameter
C:\Program Files (x86)\Sylpheed\sylpheed.exe --compose mailto:%t
- If email client is closed, mailto link opens client and compose window with address (good)
- If email client is open and command used without parameter, focus shifts to email client (no compose window) - that's as it should
BUT
- If email client is open, mailto link --> nothing happens
The latter is the problem.
In addition, right now mailto is not showing in "Default Programs > Associate a file type or protocol." Can't figure out why. However, when it did, setting Sylpheed as default mailto had no effect on the main problem.
Any ideas? thanks,
