RevMail or MobileComposeMail

I'm developing an app for Android, but after this is working I'd like to also produce an IOS version. I'm currently adding in (hopefully) the final bells and whistles, which includes a very simple email function.

I've tried both RevMail and MobileComposeMail - and was able to easily get both working on my Android test device. Livecode - you're a star!

1) Is there any advice out there on which I should use (RevMail or MobileComposeMail) if I don't need attachments or BCC?

2) I notice that both RM and MCM offer the user the option of sending the message using my android test phones: email engine, sms engine, google drive, and skype. I can see this confusing users. Is there anyway to remove the choice and automatically use the phones email engine?

Regards

For anyone that has the same question:

I found some info to help answer Q1 here -

With regard to Q2 - I found that launch url "mailto:" took the user straight to the Android phones email engine; without prompting the user to select between text messaging, google drive, skype etc.

Hi,
I would suggest sticking with MobileComposeMail. It was developed for mobile use.
