I'd like to allow the user of my app to send a block of text to
someone. Ideally, the Mail app would automatically be launched
and they'd find a normal "New Message" window with an empty To
line and a block of text already entered for them.
I thought that MacOS Services would be the answer. It's rather
simple to make a pasteboard and hand that off to the Mail service
for delivery. However, this seems to function in a really odd
way. The Mail app does not open a "New Message" window. Instead,
it creates a letter (after waiting 15-20 seconds) in the Drafts
folder that the user has to notice and then click to edit. This
hardly seems reasonable. Your average user is going to to wonder
why Mail was launched but no message appears.
Am I doing something wrong here? Is this really the expected
behavior? Is there another way to get the effect I want? Any
tips would be appreciated...
Devon
