Hi Alexandre

There was some integration before BusyCal v2, however it involved 
changing some internal scripts in BusyCal.  Now that BusyCal is signed 
and GateKeeper-ready, they do not recommend changing the scripts.  So 
the previous integration is broken.

I wrote to them recently to find a way to get them to at least disable 
the automatic launch of Mail whenever I confirmed my attendance at an 
invited meeting.  They had a go at trying to fix it but found it 
problematic.  The last they said was that they were looking at the 
problem and would try to fix it later.

In any case, a fix there would not solve the general problem of not 
being able to get all BusyCal email interactions to work with MailMate.  
I think Benny would need to get in touch with them again, advise them of 
the current state of custom URIs he supports and whether any allow 
passing an attachment, and then see if they can add support.

Like you, I would like this very much.

David.
