I definitely will, if I’m allowed to (as soon as I am, otherwise!).

remember when airmail had the url scheme for one click sending?
airmail://x-callback-url/send?from=info%40email.com&subject=subj&to=infoto%40email.com&plainBody=hello&x-source=sourceapp&x-success=sourceapp%3A%2F%2Fsuccess&x-error=sourceapp%3A%2F%2Ferror&x-cancel=sourceapp%3A%2F%2Fcancelled
you could type an email in drafts, then just click. no confirmations, it came right back to drafts…

There is obviously something wrong with me! My wife would agree. 
I keep going back and forth between Apple Mail and Spark. This is so frustrating. I like most things about Spark but then I run into the frustration of Spark email links opening on the web or the inability in Spark to zoom the text on emails like one can in Apple Mail. Then, in Apple Mail on iOS/iPadOS, one cannot create hyperlinks, seriously? In 2021?
I need or soon will, therapy!

… and Agile Tortoise could never get them to answer, yeah…
Are you using internal readdle-spark:// links or using the public link feature design for collaboration? You need the former.
I agree that they need the ability to create deep links on the fly more clearly than through some undocumented AppleScript. Hopefully that’s coming…
nothing wrong with you. it’s perfectly normal to have 3-4 fully configured email apps on your iOS device or Mac. I do it too. it’s the state we are in because of developer arrogance and/or laziness.
if Greg Pierce/@agiletortoise developed an email app, there would be only one email thread here and it would just be about all of the cool stuff we could do with draftMail or whatever he would call it. We would all be using it on iOS and Macs, other email apps would just go away, and it would be good.

I don’t know how to do the internal link. On my iPad I select this link:
How do I get the internal link on iOS/iPadOS or is this just a Mac option?
I’m glad to know “that it’s them”, not me! 
You can’t on iOS, UNLESS you send the email to (in your case) Things. Then you can go fishing for it in your inbox. (I know, it’s horribly clunky and even more maddening that you can’t even copy the link from the dialog box that pops up before sending to Things). That’s why I have a special OmniFocus designed for “catching” emails to process and readdle-spark:// links.
On Mac, you solve that through AppleScript (see the linked thread). Be aware this does not work, though, in search screens (you instead get a link to the previously selected email, which tells me something in the UI layers is wonky, which could explain why they redesign the app, and why the AppleScript dictionary has never been officially documented).
I was experimenting with Spark (iOS) on the M1, and it has advantages and disadvantages. you can expand your shares to include the normal mac shares like messages, etc. you get a pdf button but cannot save to the hd. it must be shared to notability, swiftscan (which are both iOS on my m1). and you lose the print option. So not really worth switching to iOS version.

I appreciate the information but that sounds like more trouble than it is worth! I did a little more experimenting and discovered that on iOS a Spark link will indeed open in Craft natively without going to the Spark website.
But, in Things, the link goes to the Spark website, but, one Spark has the option of adding the content of the email directly to Things using the integration tool. All the necessary content automatically goes into Things. One also has the option of embedding either the content or a link.

Aaaah wait wait wait
These are two different things.
In both cases, you are viewing the conversation online. The only difference being that Craft opens an in-app web view (embedded Safari) but Things propels you to your default browser.
In both cases, you’re not using the internal deep linking but the collaboration links, which go to the web. Internal deep linking uses the Readdle-Spark:// format which is used when you share the email to Things, from inside Spark.
I know. Confusing.
to demostrate what a sad situation email apps are, 1 week after paying an annual subscription for airmail, I am still looking for other email app solutions…

The only good thing that can be said about an Airmail yearly subscription is that it’s as cheap as it can get.
In more ways than one…
I don’t remember me ever whining when I used Eudora.

@anon85228692 since this thread has become the “Email thread”, I will add that I messaged the devs of Dispatch to let them know that it works nearly flawlessly on the M1… no reply. its not coming back. 
Why, oh why.
Why isn’t anybody working on a replacement either, by the way. There would definitely be a niche subscription audience for such a power email app, making for recurring revenue. I mean, Superhuman charges insanely…
Well, that just shows how much I know (don’t)! I learned something. This really really should not be so hard. All we want is the perfect email client for each of our highly personalized workflows and desires.

Well…there’s BigMail? I forgot where I saw that, but it’s coming soon.
I just stick with Airmail, it’s the only one that has Shortcuts support. Which is…depressing.
Big Mail has no send later as far as I can see and does not seem really designed for task manager integration either.
looking at Big Mail, I am going to have to give a nope. it seems to be where mail goes to die. doesn’t seem to have any service integration or mail processing abilities. am I wrong?
