Bug Description
Bug Description:
Currently Software Center links to a support feature with the line "Support Web Site" this can just as easily be a mailto: address, it would be nice that if this is the case that USC listed it as "Support Email" instead then people won't be surprised by the email client opening.
SCA Version:
n/a
OS:
64bit Precise
USC Version:
5.2.2.2
Steps To Reproduce:
1. Open USC set to staging
2. Open the details page for the test app
3. Note it say "Support Web Site"
4. Click it and wait for the email client to open
Expected Results:
I expect something that specifically state Website to open FF/other browser and open a link note open an email client, if USC was smart enough to say "Support Email" that would suddenly prep me differently.
