R RichardN Well-Known Member Licensed User Longtime User May 2, 2018 #3 OK @DM we crossed there.... I see you now have to intercept the URL in the WebView_OverrideUrl event and open an intent there. Code: Copy Sub WebViewHelp_OverrideUrl (Url As String) As Boolean If Url.StartsWith("mailto:") Then Dim Intent1 As Intent Intent1.Initialize(Intent1.ACTION_VIEW, Url) StartActivity(Intent1) Return True End If Return False End Sub When/why did that change?
