Paddy,
Mozilla is set to use its own mailer for mailto: links, even if your
Internet preferences specify a different program. In order to change
that behavior, you have to change Mozilla's preferences.
With Mozilla closed down (*very important*), add a line to your
user.js file. If you don't have a user.js file, create one as a plain
text file. It will be located in your profile directory, which on a
Windows 98 platform if you haven't changed the default directories
would be c:\windows\application
data\mozilla\profiles\your_username\salted_directory_name.
Insert the entire following line in the existing or new user.js file
(with Mozilla closed down):
user_pref("network.protocol-handler.external.mailto", true);
Rebooting might not be necessary, but couldn't hurt.
Disclaimer: I tried this and all h*** broke loose, but it's possible
that I didn't have Mozilla closed down. I had to restore my prefs.js
(a file which Moz writes based on its defaults and your user.js) from
a prior backup. I haven't tried it again with Moz closed down, but it
is reputed to work. For more details and tweaking possibilities, see:

>From the Mozilla FAQ:
Can I use a different mail program with Mozilla?
Windows, Macintosh: To make Mozilla use another mail program, you can either (a)
uninstall Mozilla, then
re-install using Browser Only (Mail/News not installed), or (b) add this line to
user.js:
user_pref("network.protocol-handler.external.mailto", true);
This will open the system default mail program when you click on an e-mail link in
Mozilla.

Re: Mozilla 1.0, Default MailTo
Hi. You need to create a file called user.js and place it in your
user profiles directory. In the file, add the line:
user_pref("network.protocol-handler.external.mailto", true);
That should start bat when you click on a mailto: link.
