Launching Eudora from Netscape Mailtos

Issue:

User wishes to have Eudora launch whenever a email link is clicked on in Netscape.

Solution:

There's an Applescript, called Eudora Mailto Helper http://www.eudora.com/techsupport/scripts/NS_Eudora.sit, that will let you use Eudora as the mail-sending program for Netscape [Eudora mailto helper was written by Christian Huldt].

To run the AppleScript once you've downloaded it: quit Eudora, and Netscape if you're running it. Then find the file (it's called "netscape-eudora-mailto.as") on your hard drive. Double-click the file, and when AppleScript comes up, click the Run button. It may ask you to find Netscape for it. That's it!

Eudora will now come up if you click a mailto link on a web page in Netscape. Also, if you go to File: New Mail Message in Netscape, it will go to the standard Netscape mail interface and let you type a message; but when you click Send, it will go to Eudora and bring up the message you just typed.

Eudora should be running in the background when you send mail from Netscape for the AppleScript to work properly.

To go back to letting Netscape use its own mail, if you wish: delete the Netscape Preferences file from your System Folder (it may be in a Netscape subfolder).
