Bug 11459 is the Mozilla bug for this, but I believe Blake is to implent this sooner in Phoenix. Marking NEW.

Not sure if this is really planned for Phoenix, since Asa did mark bug 171869, bug 173087 and bug 173194 as dupes of bug 33282.

*** This bug has been marked as a duplicate of 33282 ***

Mass verifiying old duplicates.

Please re-open this as a stand alone bug. It is not a duplicate of 33282, because that is marked as fixed, while this is still an issue. I am tempted to resubmit this as a bug, rather than a request for enhancement, but I thought I would try and use this exsiting report first. The issue: the mailto links in Firefox under Linux do nothing (at least for me with Debian/Windowmaker). I use Mutt as my mail client and currently have to use the Mozex extension to get mailto to do stuff. This is ok, except when you consider that Mozex is stale (last update in 2003), does not install properly under 1.0 (manual hack required and even then does not show up in the extensions list) and is, in the author's own words, "a very ugly hack, in the most negative sense of the word... and it definitely should go away as soon as possible.) I'm not sure a Preferences option (as suggested by original reporter) is necessary, but it would be nice to have a line in about:config that would accept an external mail client command. HTH
