After discovering that the default mail client vicious circle is
actually only an El Capitan - bug (see the thread *How to set MailMate
(once!) to be the default app for email* -
http://lists.freron.com/mailmate/2016-January/005526.html) I made a
Keyboard Maestro - macro as a sort of workaround in order to be able
to send the link of the current Safari-window / tab via MailMate.
One of the great things about Keyboard Maestro, like MailMate, is that
there always seem to be numerous ways of achieving the same end. :-)
With that in mind, here's an alternative implementation of the same
idea, using MailMate's flexible 'perform' AppleScript command and a
JavaScript bookmarklet so it could work in different browsers.
Keyboard Maestro macro 'New Message with Value':
(Set variable) valueForMessage
(to:) %TriggerValue%
(Execute AppleScript)
(Execute text script)
tell application "Keyboard Maestro Engine"
set valueForMessage to the value of variable "valueForMessage"
end tell
tell application "MailMate" to perform {"newMessage:"}
tell application "MailMate" to perform {"makeFirstResponder:",
"messageEditor", "insertText:", valueForMessage, "makeFirstResponder:",
"mainOutline"}
Bookmarklet:
javascript:window.location='kmtrigger://macro=New%20Message%20with%20Value&value='+encodeURIComponent(window.location);
The bookmarklet trick means that this can work in browsers with poor
AppleScript support, like Firefox. :-( For Safari or Chrome, you could
use either AppleScript or the built-in support in Keyboard Maestro (like
'Execute a JavaScript in Safari') to get the URL and other attributes of
the page directly.

P.S. As an aside, is there a better way to reply to messages from the
digest in MailMate than what I did here -- i.e. copying/pasting the
quoted text and subject line manually, and then being warned by MailMate
because I changed the subject line in a reply? I tried selecting the
text in the digest message before replying, in case that gave some
'clues', but I still only get the digest header and subject in the
resultant message.
