Greetings!

Thanks first of all to all the contributors to org-mode.

I suppose that it is possible to set up org-mode so that if I click or
press C-c C-o on a "mailto:abc@xyz.org" a gnus compose window will be
created.  I tried finding how to do so using Google, but could not
find it.

This the error message;

Symbol's value as variable is void: warning-suppress-types

Placing [[ ]] around the link does not make a difference.

Any suggestion?

Thanks,

Yes.

M-x customize-variable RET org-link-mailto-program RET

and set it to 
    
     `compose-mail'

Actually, this variable was set to compose-mail.  This will give me
that error message.

Try

        (setq org-link-mailto-program '(compose-mail "%a" "%s"))

The doc says:

Hi Nick & Sebastian!

Thanks, this works.  However, probably because I use the latest Ubuntu
Emacs snapshot (v. 24.0.50.1) it gives me a message that now the default
is message-mail.  So, using message-mail instead of compose-mail removes
the error message and all is fine.

Thanks for your kind help and making org-mode + gnus a wonderful
combination.

I'm not sure what you are saying here (e.g. which "it" gives you the
message about the message-mail default?). However, if you look at the
doc for compose-mail and message-mail, you'll see that compose-mail is a
generic interface to a bunch of different mail composition packages
(including message-mail): you steer it by setting the value of the
variable mail-user-agent. For example, the above setting of
org-link-mailto-program together with

         (setq mail-user-agent 'message-user-agent)

is equivalent to

         (setq org-link-mailto-program '(message-mail "%a" "%s"))

HTH,
