Hey, just wondering how easy it would be to throw a email option in there. I have been playing around with mailx, and was thinking how nice it would be to have my laptop running skype send me an email when I missed a call. I have my laptop sitting in a corner collecting dust doing nothing but running skype. When I miss a call, I have to walk all the way to the laptop, open the lid, open skype and dig through menus to find call history. How sweet it woiuld be to have an email sent " Skype - Missed Call from xxx-xxxx-xxxx Date-and-time"
What do you think? Do able?

I figured it out. Was able to hack in a "system()" command in the "Status Missed" Message, and got it working. Not sure if its the best method, but it works for me. :) Maybe if you know of a more professional approach?

Calling system() is about all I'd look at doing. As its in the missed call event blocking isn't going to be an issue, it you wanted to start emailing on ringing that might start causing problems as the time to send an email would introduce delay into picking up the handset, so you'd want to make a new thread and send the email from that, have a look at the qprocess class i think that can do it for you if you really care.

Yeah sure, one problem. I dont know much about python and how to implement it into the new code. So if your using the newer python version simon wrote, I cant help you there. If on the other hand your using the latest stable release, then I would be glad to post it.

Thank you.
