[MlMt] BusyContacts and MailMate integration

[Blayne Puklich]

So Zak, let me ask you a question.

I noticed something quite peculiar when checking the default mail client 
from within Apple Mail on the MacBook Pro that doesn’t work. The list 
of choices is HUGE, includes repeated application names and includes 
applications other than actual mail clients. Same in MailMate, the list 
is HUGE.

In System Preferences > General, checking the Default web browser shows 
another HUGE list of choices, many repeated application names and a lot 
of apps that aren’t browsers.

The MacBook Air shows the expected behavior for both, a nice short list 
of mail clients and a nice short list of web browsers. Also, the MacBook 
Air never had the “El Capitan default mail client change not 
sticking” problem when I installed MailMate and chose it as the 
default mail client.

Can you check your Mac to see if you’re seeing the same thing? And did 
you have trouble choosing the default mail client?

          I'd explain it to you, but your brain would explode.
