[PATCH 2/2] emacs: new mua mailto: URI handler

Jameson Graef Rollins jrollins at finestructure.net
Sun Jan 29 11:33:44 PST 2012


The new function 'notmuch-mua-mailto' provides an interactive handler
for rfc6068 "mailto:" URIs.  It attempts to implement the rfc6068
specification: http://tools.ietf.org/html/rfc6068

More decoding of the mailto string needs to be done, as is evident by
the fact that the mailto test remains broken.
---
Unfortunately I'm not sure how best to do the URI decoding, so I've
left a FIXME in the code, and the test as known_broken.  I'm hoping an
elisp/encodings expert out there will pick this up.
