But not w32?=20 Taking Eli's point about separating bug reporting needs from=20 emacs-as-a-mail-client, can C-c m be made work on w32 (if I'm not=20 misreading the code and it doesn't already)? I don't have a w32 box to=20 test, but I had a vague notion just start.exe will open the default mail=20 client when given a mailto: url as its arg (might be misremembering),=20 similar to the macosx "open" case (gnustep equiv is "openapp", though I=20 don't know what it does when passed mailto: urls)
