[macvoiceover] Re: a cool mail tip

Hi
This works in just about every operating system as long as your browser can launch your e-mail client. The correct structure of the URL, though is 
mailto:person@xxxxxxxx
without the slashes. This is actually exactly the address you'd put in if you were going to put an e-mail link in a webpage itself, but it's a handy little shortcut as well.

I was bored and figured this out. Sorry if you've red something like this before, but in safari, if you see an e-mail, or you just want to send someone an e-mail, please follow the following steps to quickly load mail and send a message. Please do note, i've only tested this with leopard, please leave me a comment and let me know if this works for tiger as well. 
1. press command+l
2. Type "mailto:/personalemail@xxxxxxxxxxx"; replace the text after the "/" with the e-mail address you would like to send messages to. Do not put the quotes in safari 
3. press return
4. mail will open and put you in the subject field or it should. I've noticed that focus isn't always on this subject field, if not you can just vo around the screen and attempt to find the subject field. 
5. you can then compose your message how you would like
6. then press command+shift+d to send the message, and your placed in the inbox of your mail program 
7. go threw your e-mail, or simply "apple q" to close the program
