Mailing Safari URLs via Mail - revisited
Authored by: larryh123 on Aug 28, '04 05:14:24PM
I love the Mailto hotkey hint, but now there are more and more problems with the URLs it captures. Here is an example. If I am at this page:
 http://forum.spamcop.net/forums/index.php?showtopic=2009&st=0&#entry13334
the URL inserted in the new mail message is:
 http://forum.spamcop.net/forums/index.php?showtopic=2009
This happens a lot on commercial news sites, too. It is pretty obvious that the problem is the ampersand, a significant character to javascript. Seems like the javascript string() function may be able to help, but I am not enough of a javascript guy to fix it. I hope somebody else can.

This script doesn't work for me in Safari 1.3 and MAC OS X 10.3.9. The first version worked great for simple URLs at least.
