124417 - Send Link and Send Page should use default mail application

Status: RESOLVED DUPLICATE of bug 152526

(MailNews Core :: Networking, enhancement)

Description

[Robert Turnbull]

Mozilla should use the default mail application for it's send link/page
function. Some people are forced to use Outlook for email at work... Having a
default mail application other than Mozilla makes "send link" non-functional.

mailto: handlers and File | Send <stuff> commands are different, but related
features.

Comment 4

[benc]

This really isn't a mail feature.

Send Link can be implemented via bug 152526, (Chimera and Phoenix have made
progress here).

Send Page is not possible, because RFC 2368 says you cannot enclose large files
in the body field of the mailto: URL.

   The mailto URL is
   primarily intended for generation of short text messages that are
   actually the content of automatic processing (such as "subscribe"
   messages for mailing lists), not general MIME bodies.
