Details

It would be nice if I could tell Mozilla to use other programs for some tasks.
E.g., I would like it to invoke Emacs to view page source and to send e-mail.
IE and Netscape 2(?) have this feature,
I can set my preferences like this:

Task				Handler
			Use internal
		Run program:
view source					gnuclient "%s"
mailto
					gnudoit '(compose-mail "%s")'
http
			X
https
			X
ftp
			X
telnet
					telnet "%s"
Might be covered by bug 68406.
Should this be a tracking bug?  See bug 11459 for mailto: handling and see bug
35268 for doing view source with an external editor.  telnet: is covered by bug
33282
