sending emails from XP programs not using sendto links

Hi there,

many win programs access the default MAPI email client from XP when sending an email. Which would be OE or Hotmail by default.
Parallels 5 can't redirect those mails like it can when clicking a mailto link in IE.
Does anybody know of a tool / program that registers as a MAPI mail client in XP and maybe just somehow converts anything that comes in into mailto links so that PD5 could forward this to Apple Mail ?
Or maybe another trick that might do the magic?

Thanks for your help!

Hello RadoR,

Can you please clarify, what use-case made you want such feature?
In what scenario do you get default MAPI on the Windows side?

Thank you,

Hello tacit_one,

we love using Fineprint and PdfFactory under Windows. With Fineprint one can intercept print jobs, preview them, delete pages, add letterheads and so on. One can either print them out afterwards or forward them to PdfFactory which converts them into pdfs. PdfFactory then can easily send them off be email. The only catch is that PdfFactory uses MAPI calls instead of mailto: URIs. Another example for a MAPI call would be IE. Open IE and goto file->send->page by email or link by email. That also would open the default MAPI email client configured under the programs tab of the internet option settings in IE.
PD5 only covers the mailto: URIs and can not handle MAPI calls.
So I was hoping that someone might have programmed a littel tool that installs like OE as MAPI provider in XP and just converts the data to mailto: URIs. Or maybe there is another solution by somehow change some registry settings.
I don't know how these MAPI things have to be configured, maybe it's easily done in the registry (which I doubt).

Does anybody have a clue?
 
This is a longly waited feature… any news ?

Is there a way to setup Apple Mail as the default MAPI client in Windows 7 ?

mailto links already works but most of windows application are using MAPI calls to send emails (example send an excel/word file from word/excel menu File -> Send this document

thanks for any input…
