Gmail users already have options to achieve this, but this new utility makes the same feature available for users of a range of web-based services including .Mac, SquirrelMail, AOL, Hotmail, Horde, Roundcube and Yahoo!

After installing the preference pane, all you have to do is select webmailer as the default client and then select one of the preset webmail services:

Webmailer Prefs

The readme contains detailed instruction on how to create customised links for other webmail services.

The developer created Webmailer to ease a terrible affliction:

Ever click on a mailto: link, only to scream in frustration as Apple Mail opens yet again? The curse of the webmail user is that there is no way to get around this problem. That is, until now.

Webmailer comes in a Tiger and a Panther version due to the different ways in which default emailers are handed by the two systems.

Get the right one for you from the developer’s web site .

UPDATE: Works with Joyent too! See the comments.mail.app, apple mail, plugins, system preference, webmail, gmail, dotmac, .mac, yahoo, horde, squirrelmail, hotmail, email, mailto:Similar Posts:

An updated version, released today, contains some significant improvements and bugfixes.

The display of ToDos has been improved. It can now display the Due Date in the menu title and show only ToDo items due within a specified number of days. URLs can now be launched from a ToDo dialog.

You can now assign a global hot key to open the menu and choose to display the menu in a small font size.

The update also features new and improved status labels – Cancelled, In Process, Needs Action – for your ToDos, which are now displayed in the tooltip information.

Some bugfixes make it more stable.

High Priority is shareware (USD 6) and is available from the developer?¢‚Ǩ‚Ñ¢s web site.Similar Posts:
