HOWTO: Change default action for double-clicking a mail adress

Post by UGVyIFtQZW » Fri, 24 Jun 2005 22:39:12

Hi,

I want to change the default action for double-clicking a mail adress. For
now when double-clicking you open a [name] Properties window. I want instead
to open a new mail to contact.

Is this possible?

Only if you use a low-level Windows API hack and intercept all keypresses
aimed at Outlook and see if they are a double-click on the field you want
and then do your action. Messy and ugly.
