Actually, that title is worded a little poorly. It should probably read: "Direct shortcut to pre-composed draft email"
I would like to make a direct shortcut on my homescreen, which, when pressed will open an already composed draft email, which will include a pre-defined recipient list, pre-composed subject line, and pre-composed body.
I can make a draft email in my default email program with all of the latter information (recipients, subject, body).
I would simply like a way to create a shortcut to this draft that shows up on my homescreen.
Anyone know how I can accomplish this?

Phone: Motorola Photon 4g (Sprint) - 2.3.4 base stock rom (ROOTED)
Write a small app that on start, automaticly launches a prefilled email intent.
How would I accomplish this using something like Anycut?
I'm not a developer, so I'm not sure on the exact syntax for this application.
For AnyCut here is what I have so far for "Make Your Own":
Action: android.intent.action.SENDTO
Data: mailto:[email protected]
Type: <leave this blank>
This works and opens a new compose email with [email protected] in the "to:" field.
Now, how would I populate the subject line and body of the email?
When I type on the data line:
mailto:[email protected]
subject:test
body:test
it thinks everything after "mailto:" is the email address.
Can someone help?

I found the app "Email Template Widget" in the market.
It does everything I'd like it to do, but I cannot create a custom widget from it for a specific template. I emailed the dev for a feature request.
That's ok though... this will work for now!

I have made a rather simple app for my wm6 device that locks the tmail.exe with a passcode.
i have
System.Diagnostics.Process.Start("tmail.exe", "")
as part of my code that launches on success,
my question is does anyone know the argument for opening direct to "Inbox" the last empty quotes are supposed to handle arguments but nothing has worked thus far, i am fairly new at design so if i left out any info let me know.
i have tried -services "SMS" - open "Inbox"
and variations of those..no luck
Try -service ActiveSync, or whatever the name of the account is.
System.Diagnostics.Process.Start("tmail.exe", "-services ActiveSync")
did not work, at least nothing was launched
lthough it doesn't crash either.
what do you mean by name of the account? sorry...

i have been able to create a shortcut to the inbox but trying
System.Diagnostics.Process.Start("shortcut_i_made.ink", "")
crashes...is there a way to launch a shortcut perhaps that anyone knows of?
sorry for my confusion..
Ooohh! The i760, the phone I started here with! Anyways, try "service" with no "s" at the end. By account name, I meant if you were trying to open a gmail account it would be "-service gmail"
Here we go, just found it, try this instead, you were missing a piece:
"\Windows\tmail.exe" -service "SMS" -open "inbox"
Hi. I was wondering if there is any program that does the following: When you click on a shortcut it will pop up the new message user interfece with the "To" box prefilled by some number(s) and the msg box also prefilled by some text (see the attached picture) and the cursor is after that text. So you may add additional text if you want before you press send. The predefined numbers and msg are obviously configurable.
One example of the use is that, say you send a twitter direct msg to someone regularly using an sms service (not a twitter app which requires internet). Then you can prefilled the "To" box with the twitter number and the msg box with "D username ". So you can add the msg you want after D username and press send. (I often forgot to write "D username" which results in my msg sent to all my followers, LOL)
I did some search and found some apps like GroupSMS, PowerSMS. But none of these does what I just described. Some have a schedule SMS feature which you can send a specific msg to specific number(s) at a specific time, but I want to have some control (e.g. adding more msg) before I send it.
Thanks and sorry for the long explanation
I'm looking for an application that can send a direct email to a user of the contents of a file or passed into the application..
Basically in Tasker, I can have it send emails but it just basically populates the client of your choice with the data, doesn't actually send the email. I'd like to be able to have this automatically handled. I've requested if Tasker can do it, but if it cannot I'm looking for alternatives.
I've seen a few code examples out there, but nothing complete. Has anyone else seen or could write something that would do this? My use scenario is along the lines of building some information in Tasker (location, battery status, maybe call log, etc random stuff) and emailing it to myself. Tasker would perform this action based on incoming SMS or Email or something along those lines.

I don't see the need to mail binary, html etc.. Just plain text.
Would love to see an app that could allow the following in the gmail app...
Long press
make new calendar entry
'event name' is populated with the email subject
'event description is populated with body of email
you do the rest.... date, reminder etc
Anyone know of an app or someone have the skills to do it
I know you can't even do it from the desktop client so might be wishful thinking!
Anyone think its a good idea?

Could this be done with tasker? I might have a play this evening....
Hi, is it possible to adjust or modify the Pop up Menu Windows Size? I currently have total of 6 templates on Messaging/SMS, most of them are too long and each are containing information that I'm planning to send every day via SMS.
Lets say every template has 30 to 100 characters, and when I'm trying to "Insert template" on the "Compose" field on the SMS, I'm getting FC on the Messaging app, maybe the app can't handle the massive character count on my templates.
I have tried the Gesture Trace feature for the Templates, it's working but it's not that accurate, sometimes it would mess up the composition field that it would insert 2 or 3 templates with one gesture that i make.
Right now, the method that I'm using is using a Notepad app, that i would just edit it and - select all text - and copy, that does the job. I really can't use of its features to share or send it via SMS because of the nature that most of the time, i need to send those info via reply to an anonymous number (not saved on my contacts).
So is it possible to adjust the pop up menu window on the compose field so that when i choose "Insert Template" it would display all of my templates? I'm thinking that those long templates are the cause of the Messaging FC.
Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated. Thank you!
I'm currently using Android NAND on HD2 (Gingerbread Hyperdroid CM7)
and by the way, leaving only 1 template gives me no FCs anymore... anyone?
Got what i wanted thru GoSMS, but would love to know if there is a workaround for the native SMS app. TIA!
