Send URL from Mail to Safari

You know how you can easily send a URL from Safari to Mail (Shift-Command-I)? Why can't you do that in reverse?
I want to be able to email myself at home from work with a URL in the body of the message. I want a Mail rule and Automator (or applescript if necessary) to take that URL from the message body and send it to Safari which will go to the URL. The URL can be either a web page or downloadable file.

Zach Barocas,
With the webpage open, tap on the "+" symbol at the bottom and choose " "Mail Link to this Page".

Hope this helps,

I can't send emails from Mail. I have three different accounts set up and have the same problem with all. The mail just sits in my outbox. All worked fine until Yosemite upgrade. Recent update has not fixed problem.

I have been experiencing the same problem. My mail app won't even open on my Late 2011 Macbook Pro. It will show as open, but the app will never actually show up.

I can't download videos in Safari. I can't open Adobe documents from Mail or Safari even though I downloaded Adobe from the App Store.

I can't download videos in Safari? It doesn't tell me why or how to fix it.

Does this mail ID supports either POP or IMAP protcol? Report this issue to your carrier they will raise a ticket to RIM for resolving the issue.

Get URL from Mail message to Safari

I want to be able to email myself at home from work with a URL in the body of the message. I want a Mail rule and Automator (or applescript if necessary) to take that URL from the message body and send it to Safari which will go to the URL. The URL can be either a web page or downloadable file.

Shoot! I wrote this huge reply and then quit Safari by accident. I'm too tired to type it all over again (I should install a keylogger).
Anyway, check out the screen shot of my workflow. the AppleScript section is where it xfers the URL from a text editor (BBEdit) to Safari. It's pretty dirty but it works.

Mail hyperlinks open in safari, but screen is not automatically moving from mail to safari, only manually

Hello,
i'm facing already for some time an issue that i can get solved unfortunately.
After OS update towards mountian lion (i believe, but not sure), a hyperlink in an email is opened in Safari, but my screen is not automatically swapping towards safari from mail. Not if i'm working on the desktop, nor working in full screen mode. I need to move manually to the other screen, to see the webpage opening.
In the past it was working, but I can't find the settings to get this solved. Today I've update to Yosemite, and it didn't solve this for me.
Who can help me? It is really appreciated
thanks

Quick way to send photos from Mail

Is there a quick way to send photos from my iphoto library from the Mail application? I heard that 10.5 will have a photo browser as part of email but I was wondering if there is a way in Tiger? Maybe a third party plugin or something like that.

Try this hint from Mac OS X Hints.

Can't send emails from Mail with microsoft word attachments

Ok, this is a weird one. About a month ago I realized that people weren't receiving my emails sent from Mail when I attached Microsoft Word documents to them. I can attach anything else, but the second I throw in a .doc, the email simply won't be received. It will send perfectly fine, without any errors or signs of problems. Ever heard of that before? Any ideas?
12" Powerbook G4 Mac OS X (10.3.9)

I've been sending ".doc" files from both Mail and Entourage for some time without a problem.
Having said that, is there a chance that your Internet Service Provider is somehow blocking some file types?
I've recently come across a cpouple of European internet providers who do block executables and key file types that are known to cause problems or that might contain viruses/trojans.

Problems with default ports when sending email from Mail

Anyone know how to get around this, when trying to send an email from Mail on my Mac? : "Connections to the server ' ' on the default ports timed out. Select a different outgoing mail server from the list below or click Try Later to leave the message in your Outbox until it can be sent."
It appears when connected to my new wifi at home. Incoming mails appears.
Thanks!

The default email account selection is when you are outside of the Mail client only.
If you are in your MobileMe account's Inbox or Sent mailbox when selecting new message, your MobileMe account is the default account used, and the same for your work account.

Send URL from firefox to Evolution

When I want to send a webpage's URL from Firefox to Evolution, I click on the "Email a link to this page" icon in Firefox.
The problem is, the link is not clickable. Is there a way I can set it up?

Thanks Trilby.
Sorry I didn't make it clear. Yes, that has been set up. And the problem I'm having is, the URL is actually sent to a new message to be composed in Evolution. Just that the link in that message is not clickable. So, the receiver of the email will not be able to open the webpage that I want him/her to see by simply clicking on the link because it is not clickable.

Send URL from Safari to Delicious via Applescript

TIP: this will get the url, send it to a window loading delicious api, set the window nicely to a dialog kind of size, tags etc etc. After logged in it will remember the account settings ofcourse...
This is the best option for me as I can try to make it crossplatform. As Firefox 3 has not as much extensions at the moment... yet as well as other beta browsers etc etc
I was searching for a simpel solution yest working and this is working allright.
Next step is a widget for all my bookmarks... sure there is one??? or not...
Ciao!

Hello Kappy,
maybe my question was misleadingly formulated.
I use Safari (by Apple) on Macbook Air (by Apple) and when sending links I want to use OS Yosemite Mail App (by Apple).
Currently Chrome is opened. I DON'T want to use chrome.
Mail App INSTEAD of chrome.
I hope this IS the right place to ask the question: How do I teach safari to send mails by the native OS X mail app?

Cannot send email from Mail through .mac account

I have recently opened a .mac account and started using the email service. It works fine online however I am having difficulty sending messages through the Mail application in Tiger.
Whenever I attempt to send a message, a dialog box appears saying "Cannot send message using the server smtp.mac.com".
I have tried looking at the setting in preferences. I have deleted and .mac a/c setting in Mail and re-set them up, all the problem persists.
Please help!

Hello David.
Who is your ISP used for connecting to the internet and are you accessing an email account snd SMTP server in Mail provided by your ISP?
If so, can you send messages with the email account and SMTP server provided by your ISP?
Most, if not all ISPs now block the use of SMTP servers that are outside of their network (or not provided by the ISP used for connecting to the internet) on Port 25 which is the standard port used for SMTP servers. Some ISPs allow the use of an authenticated SMTP server only (such as the .Mac SMTP server) that is outside of their network on Port 25 but some block its use regardless.
These restrictions are part of an overall effort to prevent spam emanating from the ISP's domain.
Something to try.
Go to Mail > Preferences > Accounts and under the Account Information tab for your .Mac account preferences at the SMTP server selection, select the Server Settings below for the .Mac SMTP server.
Enter 587 in place of 25 in the Server Port field and when finished, select OK to save the changed setting.
Test if this resolves the problem.
If not and you are accessing an email account and SMTP server in Mail that is provided by your ISP used for connecting to the internet, select/use your ISP's SMTP server to send mail with your .Mac account which is invisible to all recipients.
