This morning, when I launched it on my Windows laptop, Thunderbird asked me:
Would you like to make Thunderbird your default mail application?
It got me thinking, when is the last time I clicked on a “mailto:” link anyway?
Capsule, The Developer’s Code Journal
I’m very pleased today to announce the release of Capsule, the developer’s code journal. Capsule replaces the scratch document you have…
I sometimes accidentally click them in Bugzilla, when I intend to copy the address for someone I’m asking for patch review or CCing on another bug. Actually clicking one and sending mail? I’m sure I’ve done it. I must have, right?
I was actually thinking about this the other day.. how I’ve been through several ‘default email client’ switches over the last couple years.. but it’s been *ages* since I’ve actually clicked a mailto link.
true stuff…i only use web based mail services.
I know this is about Windows right here but on my Mac’s I use in Path Finder, Compress and Email a lot so that is using the “defualt” mail client.
I have never used a a mailto: before. I have always found them useless. When I do want to use one, I am not at my own computer
When I’m looking at less technically savvy sites I sometimes feel compelled to click a link that says “contact us” when looking for its geographic location. Sometimes I don’t think to just hover, I just presume that a contact page will be linked.
It’s not too hard to make GMail your default email client.
