Agreed, I think ... One of those menu items is Services -> Emacs.app -> Send Email to Selected Address, which works. On the other hand, what does NOT work, but really SHOULD (this falls into the "glaring deficiency" category), is to let emacs handle a mailto: URL. On the mac, one can declare that application A should handle URL scheme U. By default, mailto: URLs are handled by Mail.app, so that clicking on a mailto: link on a web page causes Mail.app to open a new draft message addressed to the given address. If I change this to let emacs handle it, clicking on a mailto: link does activate emacs, but nothing more happens. This is a "glaring deficiency" because, after all, clicking on mailto: links on web pages is quite common, and if emacs cannot handle this, we discourage users from using emacs for their mail. Should I file a bug report requesting this feature? - Harald
