spun off of bug 145807 comment 27. tested using 2002.09.23.04 build, on 10.1.5. nothing happens when i click on a mailto: link (such as one in a bugzilla report page). it should launch my default mail application.
chris cannot seem to repro this on 10.2.1, oddly.

still doesn't work using 2002.09.24.12. could this be a diff btwn 10.1 vs 10.2?

hm, this works fine on 10.2.1 (i'm testing on another machine), but not on 10.1.5.
Depends on: 147925
Summary: mail application no longer launches when clicking mailto: link → 10.1: mail application no longer launches when clicking mailto: link
this was working with the 9/13 builds (on 10.1.4, thanks chris!), but broken in 9/19. narrowing some more...
Depends on: 147975

this regressed btwn 9/18 (works fine) and 9/19 (broken).
Jus' lovely. This would imply that LaunchServices isn't working right under 10.1.x cause I checked in code to start using it on 9/18 :-(

Marking FIXED as I checked in the nsInternetConfigService changes I've been working on in #169667 onto the CHIMERA_M1_0_1_BRANCH in the hope they will fix this. They damn sure WORKSFORME under 10.2.1 so if it's still failing on 10.1.5 I'm going to say LaunchServices is F'd up under 10.1.x (not that it'd surprise me). If it does still fail REOPEN the bug and I'll change the code to only call LS routines under 10.2 or later. Since the purpose of adding the LS calls was to support the webcal: protocol for iCal that'll still work since iCal requires 10.2.

BTW, somebody got the depends/blocks logic backwards. This bug doesn't depend on #147975, it blocks it.

oopsy, meant to do that. ;) will check this with today's build.
still a problem with 2002.09.25.04 on 10.1.5; reopening.
Status: RESOLVED → REOPENED
Resolution: FIXED → ---
With a debug build running under 10.1.5 I'm seeing that LSGetApplicationForURL() is failing to find an app when given just the protocol we're interested in (not just mailto: fails, so does news: and I expect any other protocol). Velly strange considering that LSOpenCFURLRef(), when given the full URL, successfully launches a helper app. I think the 'fix' is going to be deferring to IC for whether or not we have a helper available prior to Jaguar
Code checked in to only use LSGetApplicationForURL() under Jaguar or later. Marking FIXED again

yay, works now! vrfy'ing with 2002.09.26.04.

FYI, according to Bonsai, sdagley checked in changes on 9/24 on bug 159667 that he hoped would fix this bug.
