so I was to send the content for the url shown below with Mail…

Buy Angels' Eyes for Dogs Online at drugstore.com

but Safari told me it couldn't be done because…



Needless to say Mail is installed and is my e-mail default app. What gives?.

Mac OS X 10.5.2.
Safari 3.1.1 with no haxies, I guess SafariBlock doesn't count as haxie, nevertheless, to disable it didn't make a difference.

I also use AOL Desktop for Mac but again, Mail.app is my default e-mail application.
Thanks.

Try changing it to something else - maybe download Thunderbird - just to see if it'll work. If it does, change it back to Mail and try again.

Yes, that trick did it. I didn't even need to download Thunderbird, just went to Mail preferences and switched the default mail app to AOL Desktop so once I tried this again I found that…



maybe that was offensive enough to Mail.app since once I set Mail again as by default e-mail client it worked flawlessly.

Thank you very much Cold Warrior. (totally off-topic but… what happened to you cool signature?)

I want a full 200x50 sig, and I've been meaning to beg someone to create a few I could rotate.
