Subject: Provide an emacsclient-mail.desktop
X-Git-Tag: emacs-28.0.90~1977
X-Git-Url: http://git.eshelyaron.com/gitweb/?a=commitdiff_plain;h=b1b05c828d67930bb3b897fe98e1992db42cf23c;p=emacs.git

Provide an emacsclient-mail.desktop

We provide both an emacs.desktop and an emacsclient.desktop, so for
consistency let’s do the same with mail.

* etc/emacs-mail.desktop: Extract suggestions for using emacsclient
from comments to create emacsclient-mail.desktop.
* etc/emacsclient-mail.desktop: Send mail using an existing Emacs
rather than starting a new one.

 Emacs with headers filled out according to the link, e.g.
 "mailto:larsi@gnus.org?subject=This+is+a+test".  If you prefer
 emacsclient, use "emacsclient -e '(message-mailto "%u")'"
