Teasing with features that don’t work sucks. In this case, Safari offers to mail a link to the page. Nice, right? Well, no such luck when I actually tried to use it:
Huh. OK. Well, I do use Mail.app; maybe it’s not set as the default mail application or something? Well, nope, that’s not it:
So, really, WTF? How on earth is this complicated? If adding <a href="mailto:what@evs"> to a web page can trigger whatever the default mail client to open and compose a message (and always work; when’s the last time you had that one fail?), then what’s the deal with two applications— both that Apple wrote— not talking to each other. This shouldn’t be a bug. I shouldn’t have to try to figure out what the problem is. Fail!
