Contact-view Mailto using Outlook

[markjohan]

Hello Everyone,

In the previous version, jou could click on the emailadres of a contact, and than your own email-program was opening a new mail.

Now there is a new frame showing, so you can email with civicrm.

Question:
Is it possible to send without using this feature? by disable this function

Thanks

Sorry there is not currently a configuration option for this. I wonder how much demand there would be for adding one?

Hello,

You should have a look to this: http://forum.civicrm.org/index.php/topic,30289.msg143391.html#msg143391

We're using the patch proposed in the attached txt file posted by CiviTeacher.com and it works with Civi 4.5.1

You just have to modify the code at 2 different locations and then emails in search results are prefixed with "mailto:" enabling the creation of a new message in your email-program.

Unfortunately, as it is a patch (not in core civicrm code), you'll have to reapply it every time you update to the newest civi version; but it definitely worth it.

Enjoy
