Does "a better way" necessarily include the presumption that the
Mail.app is the default mail client, or has been configured to send
mail? I can see how this approach would have value in certainly
rigidly controlled environments, but not in the wild.
If MS is bringing up Mail.app, it's obviously trivial.. otherwise
they'd lock you into Entourage.
To achieve so much as a plurality of mail client coverage, I don't
personally see an alternative to a lot of custom AE work.
This is fine by me, as long as it's implemented under the openURL:
method by Apple
Mail,
Entourage, Eudora, Mailsmith, and you still don't get the case where a
workstation isn't configured with a mail client at all (like this one,
where I'm connected to my mail host via ssh).
