It's been driving me nuts for some time, with me thinking I was doing something stupid. Nick - Have implemented your comma padding work-around. Great idea, works a treat. I can now stop pulling out my hair! Adam - Thanks for posting about this. It's been driving me nuts for some time, with me thinking I was doing something stupid.

I chose commas specifically because the mail app will treat the mailto: target as a list of email addresses separated by commas, and will discard any trailing ones automatically.

Makes sense as previous versions of my app did not have this problem, and this latest was the first time I built with the 2.2 SDK. I also filed a bug to Apple, so let's hope it gets addressed with 3.0 for sure! I found the same thing and discovered if I built using the 2.1 or 2.0 SDKs the problem went away.

I am having the exact same problem. Really small changes to the mailto: URL causing a failure for no reason. Have tried encoding differently, and padding to word boundaries etc, with no luck.

Thanks for reporting the bug and posting this message. It helped me to realize I wasn't going insane. I've tried every work around I could think of and still couldn't get it to work 100% of the time. I will be checking back often to see if you heard back from Apple on this issue since I know so many of the users want this feature. I've run into this same problem.

I found that it doesn't return NO when you pass it an unsupported URL scheme. This means that you have no way of knowing whether a call to, say, TwitterFon, worked or not. This also used to work in the 2.0 days. Not a show-stopper, but does show that Apple has a lot of work to do in this area. openURL: is pretty badly broken!
