Pardon the ignorance here if there is some (I'm fairly new to OS X
development)... If I registered my app with a special url scheme and then
sent the mailto url to my app, doesn't that just add an unnecessary hop to
the mix? I will already be inside my app clicking the mailto link, so I
just need my app to handle it. By default it just uses the user's default
mail client, but it would be nice to have a list specifically within my app
to choose a different mail client if one is installed.
