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
