More info needed. Exactly what commands are you using? How are you elevating to admin privileges?

Re: looking for "metamail" package
I'm using osCommerce that uses "mailto" in php code
Code: Select all
<td class="main"><?php echo '<a href="mailto:' . $order->customer['email_address'] . '"><u>' . $order->customer['email_address'] . '</u></a>'; ?></td>

mailto: is, like http: or https: or ftp: a URI scheme, not a program, let alone a debian package.syscon wrote:I'm using osCommerce that uses "mailto" in php codeCode: Select all

It is the browser which decides how to handle a mailto: link. Normally they open a mail program, or ask you what you want to do with it.
In Firefox, you can configure that in the preferences. In my case it says "Use Thunderbird (default)", which is just fine in my case.
Are on the server side or on the client side?
If server, there's nothing you need to do, other than serving the web page.
If client, you should configure your browser as you need.
Re: looking for "metamail" package
For example on Gentoo "mailto" is part of the package called: net-mail/metamail
Once installed, the program binary is in: /usr/bin/mailto
My server is using this program.
I think the one I installed on Debian is not correct one. Package info:
I can find "mailto" in: /usr/lib/cgi-bin/mailto
It is not the same package. Running it from the command line gives the the above output.

If I need to automatically send an e-mail with an attachment, I use mpack to prepare the message, and then send it with sendmail (the command, not the package, I use postfix).
