Thanks; applied.

Yeah, that's a less than optimal naming. Emacs-devel people -- would it
make sense to change `browse-url-mailto-function' to
`browse-url-mail-function'? The variable was introduced (by, ahem, me)
about a year ago, so it's within the pretest period...

The variable browse-url-mailto-function is used to respond to mailto:
urls. Its value happens to be browse-url-mail, but I don't think it is
quite correct to say that this variable "generalises" browse-url-mail.
I think the present naming is fine.
