I think it is built into some part of the MacOS - it should work in
SimpleText, BBEdit, Alpha, etc. - basically any application that uses
that aforementioned part of the OS to deal with text. I don't think
it's a Microsoft only or Eudora only or XYZApp only sort of feature.
In fact, I can command-click on an email address without a preceding
mailto when I'm in SimpleText, and Eudora pops up a blank message
window to that address. I run a pretty basic MacOS 8.6.
And John, as to why http works but ftp doesn't, is it possible that
you haven't picked a helper app for ftp in your Internet (or Internet
Config) control panel?
