Description

Opening an EmailDialog on Android asks the user to choose between Gmail and Skype (assuming Skype is installed), and on 2.3.6 also Messaging. The problem with this is that if the user chooses Skype or Messaging, then any emailDialog pre-filled fields (such as toRecipients, subject, etc) are blown away. This confuses the user, and makes a simple contact email option in the app a pain to implement. The EmailDialog should just open the default email application - i.e. Gmail on Android. See attached KitchenSink screenshot.

Base UI --> Views --> Email Dialog If you have Skype installed, you will get this bug

Why is this a "new feature"? This is clearly a bug that is confusing users.

Any update? This bug makes EmailDialog on Android next to useless.
