Subject: 24.0.50; Emacs doesn't work as system mail program in OS X
Date: Thu, 21 Jul 2011 04:29:10 +0200

- In OS X, use Mail.app to set Emacs to the system mail app
- Try any program that includes a link to a mailto, or that needs
  to send a mail (e.g., Cmd-Shift-i in Safari)
- Emacs gets the focus, but send mail user agent is not invoked
- However, the "send selection with emacs" service works fine!
