I'm upgrading a stack used in an application by remote collaborators. When they finish work on some data, the stack uploads it to our server here and I've added an email notification feature which grabs info about the upload and then emails it to me by invoking the user's default email client, auto inserting my email address and subject and body. The user then has only to click send. A further confirmation uses revGoURL to load the data from our server into their browser (these are XML files) so they can also see immediately if the upload was complete.

Now, testing here on my own mac OS X... it works fine, email is invoked and immediately revGoURL activates my browser... I sent the new stack out to test the new function to another Mac user with OSX also installed, but on his machine the script uploads the data, then skips through the revMail as if it was not even in the script and boots his browser and shows the file. i.e. the line "revMail tRecipient,,tSubject,tBody" fails and there is no error message and it does not cause any problem... it jus doesn't happen.

What exactly does the Mac need to ensure that there is an email client automatically will be invoked by revMail? I can't find any preference in OS X for "default mail app" that requires setting. No more internet config and apple has this bizarre requirment to set the default browser from within Safari, which one has to boot to say, choose Firefox... but I don't see any option to set a default email app that the scripting extensions would use. and I also don't know exactly what to test for to determine with other missing parts there may be... possible the GURL even is not handled on his machine? But I though apple script and events would be auto loaded by default for anyone using OSX.

I have yet to get a report from Windows users if this will work...

Note, this stack is being driven by a splash screen standalone "player" and I did include the "common library" which would be required... and if revGoURL works, one assumes this is proof the common library is present. So, it must be something else.

TIA
