So, for example, you can mail the current selection (i.e., the URL of the page you are on, which you can highlight by pressing Command-L) by choosing Services -> Mail -> Send Selection in the Safari menu.

Safari may be missing some IE features like "Send Page" in the Mail menu, but these are compensated for by the fact that Services now work.

Only Mail.app, though
Unfortunately, there is no "Services/Default Mailer/Send Selection" service. As it is, this only works with Mail.app, an app I pounded my head against all through OS X beta and 10.0, then finally gave up on. It would be nice if Apple, while offering us their own Mail.app, made the system-wide hooks more responsive to our own choices.
Only Mail.app, though
Each application provides its own Service.
I'm guessing that you want to pester MS to add some useful Services to Outlook, or something. (Good luck with that. :p ) I know that Carbon apps can finally use Services, can they also provide them?
Only Mail.app, though
Apple posted sample code when they seeded Jaguar that showed how to embed Cocoa-in-Carbon and Carbon-in-Cocoa, so it's likely possible. Admittedly, I haven't touched Carbon since I dumped OS 9, so I could be wrong :).

No services avalable...
I never have any services avalable. That are all grayed out. Anyone have any ideas???
No services avalable...
Carbon apps have to be specifically written to partake of Services, as opposed to Cocoa apps, which get them "for free". The Finder wasn't re-written to use them until 10.2 or 10.2.1, IIRC.
Select your url before
For those that notices that mail services are greyed, just select your url or any text and then use the mail service. |
