[I'd accidentally posted my reply off-list. Bringing it back.]
The times I've autogenerated emails, I did so without thinking of alternate
clients. On MacOS, I used -[NSWorkspace openURL:], which can be funky for a
long or non-ASCII body, but could be made to work. The system should honor the
user's choice for mailto: handlers.
But that may be hard to integrate with NSSharingService. Perhaps you could fall
back on mailto: in the didFail… delegate method.
