El Capitan can Safari autocomplete email addresses on website mail links?

Hi,


If I went to a website, say the NYTimes, or LATimes, and clicked on the "mail this article" link, is there a way to have my contacts autocomplete?


I can't seem to make it work...It will of course autocomplete my email address, but not any others...

iMac (21.5-inch, Mid 2014), OS X El Capitan (10.11.4)

Hi, not the share button - that will open Apple Mail and the autocomplete works as expected. But the mailto links on various pages - the little icons that look like envelopes - used to autofill from the contacts/address book. That functionality seems to be lost.


I spent 90 minutes with Apple tech support - kicked up to second tier, who has passed it on to the Safari team to continue troubleshooting.
