Alfred-MailTo
=============

A Workflow for [Alfred][alfred].

Quickly select recipients from your Mac's Contacts database and send them to your email client of choice. Also works with Groups/Distribution Lists.

![][demo]

Download
--------

You can install MailTo either from [GitHub releases][github-releases].

**Note**: Versions 2.2 and later are only compatible with Alfred 3. If you're using Alfred 2, please install [version v2.1.4][v2.1.4].

Usage
-----

**Note:** The first time you run MailTo, you will probably be asked to grant access to your Contacts. Obviously enough, if you refuse access, MailTo won't work.

Use the `@` keyword in Alfred to access MailTo and search your Mac's Address Book.

Recipients will be suggested from matching contacts and groups in the
accounts configured in your `Contacts` app (see the [help][help] file for supported account types).

Hit `⇥` to autocomplete the recipient list from the selected result, or `↩` or `⌘+NUM` to add the address to the recipient list and start composing a mail.

You can add multiple recipients by adding a comma between them.

Use `mailto` to view/change settings.

See the [online help][help] for more information.

Supported email clients
-----------------------

MailTo *should* work with any email client, as it uses the standard `mailto:` URI scheme to call them.

See the online help for a full list of
[supported and unsupported clients][help-supported-clients].
