[TYPO3] How to put a mailto link in Tmenu?

[Martin Kindler]

Peter,

thank you! That is exactly what I needed.

Anyway, I am sure that at some point I will have to use the IProcFunc
mechanism. Thanks for the pointer to the example (I'll manage to understand
(hopefully) enough of the Danish :-)), but I would like to have some
description of the data type being used in menuArr to know which fields are
available. I have searched all the "Core" docs but there seems to be
nothing. Am I correct? Examples are important but only show some basic
mechanism. I can work through the PHP code, but this is very time-consuming.
If someone has a pointer to some documentation, please tell me!

Martin
