However, easier wasn't the point. In this case, the goal was to make a stand alone email solution. If, as an example, you were at work - would you want your work email client to be opened as the default? Moreover, most people do not have gmail as their default client. This is a simple way to send gmail messages. I can think of great reasons to use your default client, but the program was for those who do not have such a simple setup. Thanks for taking the time to post. Please feel free to write comments on any post you find on this site. We don't have to agree - it's just great to have solutions out there for everyone - and the variety from my boring opinions spices things up. ~ab you’re right about the fact that it’s easier.

In other words, it's possible to make a pretty generic quick email hotkey that is: 1. not email client specific 2. not gmail specific 3. doesn't require launching a web browser 4. doesn't require a separate executable Which can be accomplished simply in an AHK script by running a mailto link. The basic idea being something along these line: ^`:: Run mailto:?subject=Test`%20Subject&body=Some`%20body`%20text.`%0D`%0A return Which would use your default email client to start composing an email message. Of course, it would be possible to get a lot more fancy using the many other things that AHK makes possible...again without using a separate executable. -- Martin Actually I think MSwanberg has a good point — and almost the right idea.
