Nevermind, I think I've got it:

emacsclient -n "org-protocol:/capture?template=t&url=http%3a%2f%2fduckduckgo%2ecom&title=DuckDuckGo"

I had a '?' rather than '&' after 'template=t'.

Hi,

I am running emacs-mac-app (v. 25.3.1) installed from Mac Ports, with org-mode version 9.1.6, on Mac OS 10.13.3. 

I have set up org-protocol.  If I open a terminal emulator window and enter this command

emacsclient -n "org-protocol:/capture?url=http%3a%2f%2fduckduckgo%2ecom&title=DuckDuckGo"

org-protocol works.  I can select the template I want, and an entry gets added to my .org file. 

However, if I add in a template specification

emacsclient -n "org-protocol:/capture?template=t?url=http%3a%2f%2fduckduckgo%2ecom&title=DuckDuckGo"

I get this error:

*ERROR*: No capture template referred to by "t?url" keys

It seems the list isn't getting split at the '?' after 'template=t'.  I haven't been able to find anything on this and appear to be doing what org-protocol.el says I should.

Any help would be appreciated.

Thanks,
Matt
