Hi Björn,

On some clients, the mailto protocol handler is not present, so the t:mailto component is not effective.

Do you see some possibility to failover?

It seems there is a way to detect the failure with Javascript:
https://www.uncinc.nl/articles/dealing-mailto-links-if-no-mail-client-available

It would be nice if in such a case an event could be thrown to the server or at least a customized message could be popped up.

...just a quick feedback.

We do:

window.open(<mailToAddress>,<someName>);

on client side. This does not give us any serious feedback about if the opening was successful or not in the case of sending a mail.

The link, that you sent...: hmm, this is quite based on durations etc. so I do not believe it's something to stay rock solid over various browsers and browser versions...

Regards, Björn
