Any way I can make Gmail (webmail) recognize the fmp protocol?

 

 

If I send an email that contains:

 

 

fmp://domain_name/Database.fmp12?script=open_case&param=serial

 

 

Gmail strips off the fmp therefore users cannot click the link.

 

 

If I put "http://" before the entire string, it just strips off the semicolon after fmp, therefore, still, rendering it useless.

 

FYI the emails are sent from server, not that it makes a differemce.

 

 

Any ideas here? Please don't tell me snaphot link because that's a 3-step process and I'd rather not clutter their desktop with files.

 

 

Thanks,

Hi Agi,

 

I don't come bearing good news, but I was unable to recreate the problem.

I sent the link from Mac Mail to my Gmail account and the text remained intact. I sent it as a link from Gmail as well, but it didn't even retain the link, let alone strip the fmp://

 

Because none of my tests worked (nor failed even), I was testing putting

http://fmp://domain_name/Database.fmp12?script=open_case&param=serial

and see the result when it strips off the leading http://

Crude and oversimplified?

Greg - Change domain_name to domain_name.com and you will see it links only part of the link with http instead of fmp.
