A shortcut that starts a new message from a template
(whether or not Poco is running)
Method 1: The template is an .eml file. Create a shortcut to the Poco .exe file with a target similar to this:
"C:\Program Files (x86)\Pocomail4\Poco.exe" /edit "C:\Users\Mark\Desktop\MyTemplate.eml"
Method 2 (recommended): The template is a standard PocoMail template. The shortcut launches a script; the script opens the template.
Shortcut target, where OpenMyTemplate is the name of the script without the .poc extension:
"C:\Program Files (x86)\Pocomail4\Poco.exe" /r "OpenMyTemplate"
Script:
CommandTag "/perform/newmessage/MyTemplate/"
Thunderbird, for comparison:
"C:\Program Files (x86)\Mozilla Thunderbird\thunderbird.exe" -compose "to='Charles Dickens <cdickens@zzzzz.com>,Rex Stout <srex@yyyy.net>',subject='The latest BS',body='Hello,',attachment=file:///D:\test.rtf"
