While it could be that emacs-w3m does not do the right thing with mailto, it is still so that one cannot really know what `browse-url' really points to. Wouldn't it be a solution to just directly do what `browse-url' was normally expected to do rather than relying on the user or the third-party package having set everything up correctly? -- Christian
