> Click on the “verify my email” link, which opens up your email client with a pre-defined recipient, subject and body, The problem is I never configure my browser mail client. I am not sure even how to for GMail. And using mailto: links seems so retro, and rare. At best if I see one I will right click Copy Email Address, then past that into another browser. I use multiple browsers on the same device, and multiple devices. Setting them all up to open an email client is a pain. And whose email client? Multiple users per PC. And no we don't want to log out and log in again when we borrow the laptop. And another problem is spoofing. You can't trust an email you receive. And if you are too strict in verifying the source, there are probably genuine people who can't get past your checks because they haven't set up all the SPF, etc. stuff. I don't think this is practical. What I would like as an improvement though: 1. Sign up. 2. Let me do as much as possible without verifying. 3. Get verify email. 4. Clicking links confirms and then leaves a dead tab and encourages me to close it. - this keeps things tidy, I return to the tab where I was actually working on the page I want to be on. 5. Because I have verified, the other tab knows (using JS can know in real time) and I carry on.
