I have no idea how I had originally managed to do that, but mailto links 
have always opened Emailer for me. For a long time, I have been using 
Emailer under OS9 starting from the OS9 partition, then about one year 
ago, I structured the computer for booting from the OS10 partition while 
using the OS9 system under classic and all files still residing on the 
OS9 partition. They are still there. 

In my OS10 partition, I have located an alias of the OS9 application 
folder, which includes Claris Emailer in the OS10 Application folder

Under System Preference:Internet:Mail, I have two choices, which are 
Emailer and Mail

I have found no such thing as mail client preferences in Mail

FWIW, I have tried, under OS 10, in Under System Preference:Internet:Mail 
the following:

1 - Changed from Claris Emailer to SMTP Auth Login (the Emailer version 
tuned by Chris for SMTP authentication). Easy do do. I Shut down Emailer, 
clicked on a mailto link in Safari, and it opened Claris Emailer (not 
SMTP Auth Login)  

2 - Changed from SMTP Auth Login to Mail. It worked

3 - Changed from Mail to Entourage (had never started it so I had to 
select it). It worked

4 - Changed from Entourage to Claris Emailer. It worked (yes, it came 
back to Emailer) 

I have noted while rummaging under OS9 preferences that changing my 
internet preferences from Safari (it was that) to IE (because I have one 
IE under OS9 and one IE under OS10) was preserved under OS10 (it means my 
default application was now IE of OS 10 instead of Safari and I had to 
adjust the internet preferences of OS 10 back to Safari

5 - So I restarted under OS 9 (not classic, a real restart under the 
genuine OS 9.2.2)

6 - On the control Panel Internet, I selected SMTP Auth Login instead of 
emailer. Tried a link under iCab (still perfect), it opened SMTP Auth 
Login

7 - I then restarted under OS 10 and verified that SMTP Auth Login was 
still checked in System Preferences: it was not, had disappeared together 
with Entourage, but Emailer was still there and selected

8 - Claris Emailer started on start-up (Classic starts automatically 
because of the box I ticked in Classic preferences, I unchecked that box) 
in spite of the fact the Claris Emailer box is not ticked in the list of 
startup items in OS10 System preferences). I don't know why

9 - I shut down Emailer and cliked on a link in Safari. It opened (still) 
Claris Emailer

10 - I tried the same with iCab (shut down Emailer, and click on a mailto 
link. It still opens Claris Emailer instead of SMTP Auth Login

11 - I restarted under OS9 and reselected Emailer as my mail application 
in Internet Preferences

12 - I restarted under OS10 Where Classic was no longer required to start 
on start-up, but where SMTP Auth Login was required to start on start up 
on the Opening Emements (where start-up applications are selected)

13 - Bingo: both Emailer and SMTP Auth wanted to start simultaneously 
under classic (activated, I believe, because I had selected SMTP Auth 
login as start-up application). A memo appeared stating that I was not 
authorised to try to start two Emailer applicatins at the same time and 
would need to delete preferences if only one was starting. SMTP Auth won 
and started. I Shut it down and deselected in on the start-up apps. I did 
not do anything to the Preference file

14 - iCab opened again claris Emailer when I clicked on a link

This is all. I do not understand what goes either right or wrong. In any 
event Emailer is alawys selected as my preferred mail app. I can change 
it for a OS10 mail client if I want, and come back to emailer whenever I 
want, but I cannot select any other OS9 mail client. Also, Emailer starts 
automatically whenever Classic is set to start automatically on start-up, 
even if the Claris Emailer check box in the start-up application panel is 
unchecked

Maybe someone will succeed to understand this story

(iBook, dual boot OS 10.2.8 on the first partition and OS 9.2.2 on the 
second, emailer 2.0v3 and SMTP Auth Login, both at the same level in 
Claris Emailer folder, at the same level as the Preferences file)
