Mail To: Share feature does not add url to email

http://www.inmylens.com/galleries/birds … mmingbird/
When you select the mail icon to email this gallery, or if you are in the slide show it works fine on a laptop, but if you are on table/phone/mobile device it does not pass the URL for the photo to the email client.

Any thoughts or if there is a setting I missed.

thanks
Brad

Re: Mail To: Share feature does not add url to email

works fine from my iPad (iOS 8.3) and my iPhone 6

If you can be specific about what devices you're checking on, that will probably help Matt out.

I have currently tested this on a Samsung android tablet with version 4.4 and a andriod motox with version 5.1 both have the same issue and do not pass the url to the email.

Matt,
I just tested this on an iphone 6, using safari and it does work correctly so it looks like an android issue.
Please let me know what you find.

thanks
Brad

Re: Mail To: Share feature does not add url to email

There is no consistency in how different browsers handle mailto: urls. We cast the widest possible net with the code we use; any failing beyond that is the fault of the browser.

OK thanks Matt,
OK was just hoping for a work around/patch since both my android devices running chrome browsers did not work.

Thanks

Hi Brad, see this earlier post and link: http://community.theturninggate.net/post/26903/#p26903
Basically, support for mailto links is buggy in Android.
