No, no, you were right. I wrote my reply before I saw yours, otherwise that would have just been adding more details. KRun is basically like QDesktopServices::openUrl() but has been around for much longer. KToolInvocation::invokeMailer() isn't so much different either, just more explicit. > Anyway, the point was that it's possible to code the required KDE bits for > "invoking Trojita and sending mail via that" even without touching > Trojita.

This is a setting somewhere, and the program configured as its target doesn't have to do anything other than to provide a .desktop file that tells the system where to put the URL (AFAIK) when executing it.
