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:
