Yes, I did not change anything there. Git has added this for me,
I guess.

   `M-x browse-url-at-point RET' already does this for me (in
   every mode).

Hum, it seems it does not for me using emacs -Q :

Debugger entered--Lisp error: (wrong-type-argument stringp browse-url-text-browser)
  start-process("lynxmailto:foo@bar.com" nil "xterm" "-e" browse-url-text-browser "mailto:foo@bar.com")
  apply(start-process ("lynxmailto:foo@bar.com" nil "xterm" "-e" browse-url-text-browser "mailto:foo@bar.com"))
  browse-url-text-xterm("mailto:foo@bar.com" nil)
  apply(browse-url-text-xterm "mailto:foo@bar.com" nil)
  browse-url-default-browser("mailto:foo@bar.com" nil)
  apply(browse-url-default-browser "mailto:foo@bar.com" nil)
  browse-url("mailto:foo@bar.com" nil)
  browse-url-at-point(nil)
  call-interactively(browse-url-at-point t nil)
  execute-extended-command(nil)
  call-interactively(execute-extended-command nil nil)

   I have `("^mailto:" . browse-url-mail)' in `browse-url-browser-function'.

With my patch, there is no need to customize anything. Maybe we
should change the default value of `browse-url-browser-function' ?

Thank you for the notice. I will check in what I should conform
to by reading the RFC.
