[Phil Smith III]

The first of those starts email; the second does nothing.

At it's most simple, you can use

 

xmpp:romeo at montague.net <mailto:xmpp%3Aromeo at montague.net> 

 

But you can get more complicated and use

xmpp:romeo at montague.net?message;body=Here%27s%20a%20test%20message <http://xmpp:romeo@montague.net?message;body=Here%27s%20a%20test%20message> 


to include a message.

 

Other examples from https://xmpp.org/extensions/xep-0147.html that Pidgin supports are   "?roster"  to add someone to the buddy list and  "?join"  to join a group chat/MUC

 

Cheers,

Eion

Thanks! Question then becomes, how do I make the equivalent of this:

 

start aim:goim?screenname=friend1

 

…which with AIM would start an IM tab with FRIEND1?

Been Googling but cannot seem to find answer: can I register xmpp: URLs in Windows, so I can give my wife a .bat file to start her IM tabs in Pidgin?


Did anyone reply to this?

The short answer is yes, you can register xmpp: URLs in Windows (or any other URL). Any URL can be associated with a program (and with particular command line parameters for the program).

If you want the program to do a particular thing then it depends on the program supporting command line parameters to do that thing.

Doesn't Pidgin register various URLs when it is installed? I can't remember.
