Question

Does Application.OpenURL("mailto:address@domain.com") work for popping up a native email prompt on mobile?

Yes. Using Application.OpenURL() you could open safari, maps, phone, sms, mail, youtube, itunes, app store and books store. You could find all the url schemes you could need here These are for Objective-C but if you get the idea of the url scheme it would be really easy to do it on Unity. Here you have an example of a simple script to send a mail with address, subject and body.

C# mail example:

public string email;

public string subject;

public string body;

// Use this for initialization
void Start () {
    Application.OpenURL("mailto:" + email + "?subject:" + subject + "&body:" + body);
}

I don't think this schemes would work on android and i don't have an android to check it but there would be some android schemes for sure. About unity and objective-c integration. Check this tutorial: http://clevermartian.com/blog/?p=59 I find it really interesting

There is nothing iPhone-specific about these schemes. They work fine with Android (and web, and standalone).

Hey guys, I'm having a problem with Application.OpenURL, When I use it to open a link it works fine (on both editor and Android) but when I replace the link with "mailto" it doesnt do anything on the editor and it crashes on Android (but it works fine if I manually paste the link on my browser). Can anyone help me with this. Is there something wrong with my Unity software? I just upgraded to the latest one...

It's not a very well written answer and looks even more like it should be a comment to david's answer, but it's correct ;)
