I think that's only the default on Windows. On my machines [1] it just
silently sends. This might depend on what the mailclient is; I have read
reports that thunderbird opens a window with the (MIME-encoded)
message. I imagine this depends on the setting of
"browse-url-mailto-function"; on my systems it is 'browse-url-mail,
which seems to be the default.

[1]: Various versions of Debian GNU/Linux
