Looks good to me (I just looked at the parts calling browse-url), and I
think it won't change any behavior unless the user customizes
browse-url-handlers to catch mailto links with his own function instead
of the default one in browse-url-default-handlers (which in turn just
calls browse-url-mailto-function).

BTW: I didn't know about function-put.  Should that be preferred to put?
I've tested that put/get also work with #'function, so where's the
difference?

Bye,
