Right. Joke.

If you think iOS opening mailto: links in the Mail app represents some kind of security breach then I have bad news for you.

If an application developer expects people NOT to react defensively to automatically launched external applications, they are deluded.

That link does not open from a user-initiated event, even if it technically does.

That's fair, but if you don't think it's meant as a joke, what do you think the intention is?
