Am trying to change my ~/.emacs so that browse-url will start mutt on
"mailto:" links, and Firefox on other types of links. There is an
example in browse-url source code:
(setq browse-url-browser-function '(("^mailto:" . browse-url-mail)
("." . browse-url-firefox)))
However, instead of "browse-url-mail", I think I'd need to put "browse-
url-generic" in, and then also somehow to direct this function that
mutt should be launched (probably trough somehow setting "browse-url-
generic-program" and "browse-url-generic-args", preferably in some
kind of localized manner). Any suggestion on how to accomplish this
properly?
Thanks.

In the meantime, came up with following:
(setq browse-url-generic-program "/usr/bin/xterm")
(setq browse-url-generic-args '("-e" "mutt"))
(setq browse-url-browser-function '(("^mailto:" . browse-url-
generic)
("." . browse-url-firefox)))
which works fine. Now, I'm wondering is it possible to somehow made
these assignments to "browse-url-generic-program" and "browse-url-
generic-args" to be "local" for handling "mailto" case? What if I
want multiple cases, and want to use different "generic" browsers for
them?
Thanks.

Try something like this:
(defun browse-url-mutt (url &optional new-window)
(let ((browse-url-generic-program "/usr/bin/xterm")
(browse-url-generic-args '("-e" "mutt")))
(browse-url-generic url new-window)))
