But what about the mailto-pseudo-protocol then? If you have no configurated email client installed on the system you're working on then that won't work either.
I think that 'mailto' is an instance of a different case. The idea is that 'mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]' is nothing more than an identifier for someone's email inbox (loosely speaking), and not an instruction for some sort of behavior. 'mailto' is just a syntactic URI scheme that the user agent can associate with an email client.
Perhaps one can imagine some sort of analog with a 'printer' URI scheme to refer to some user's printer (much like 'file' is meant to designate local files). I'm not very familiar with the specs, so it might even be the case that one already exists, though I really can't see a good use for such a thing.
