I'm guessing mutt can't parse the mailto: line given out by iceweasel.
Here's a very quick and very dirty bit of perl I knocked up; I'm not
suggesting it's right, but it'll hopefully give you a starting point:

$result=~s{([\$])}{\\$1}g;
return \$result\;
}

print $params\n;
for $x(split //, $params) {
($key, $val)=split /=/, $x, 2;
print $key: $val\n;
$paramhash{$key}=$val;
}
$cmd=mutt;
$cmd.= -s .escape($paramhash{subject}) if($paramhash{subject});
$cmd.= -c .escape($paramhash{cc}) if($paramhash{cc});

Re: Iceweasel 3.5
So how does one use the latest version of this web browser on Stable ? If I were you, I would temporarily enable testing, unstable and experimental repos, grab iceweasel and dependencies from experimental and then disabling the repos. Hm sounds like a plan. Do you know offhand which Debian distro has 3.5.x ? If the experimental version needs to update a lot of libraries (many experimental packages do), and you have a good reason to want to run stable, I would instead suggest keeping with stable for almost all apps, and installing a chroot environment to run the few unstable/experimental apps you want in a more sandboxed environment. As I understand it, I think that should be enough for your need. Later, when a proper backport of iceweasel 3.5 arrives, you can use it under stable. I have successfully used this method when I wanted to install stuff form experimental or form third party sources (that I do not trust).

Re: Iceweasel 3.5
Well I was primarily wanting to stay with stable as this is an older laptop Hummm..well you could try Opera. They have a lighter faster up-to-scratch browser.

If you're like me and don't use a desktop environment you can go fly weight with opera for mail and newsgroups that comes included. Opera isn't as manifold as iceweasel say, you wouldn't want to use it with tor for instance, as they don't do SOCKS but it doesn't bring a lot of baggage. I don't recall any recent upgrades so I guess you could say it was in the stable camp but that deb source is sid and whatever they offer will be their going beta version. If you like to see it a lot run this: #update-alternatives --config x-www-browser select it from the list to make it the 'default' browser for your Debian laptop. -- CK -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-user-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of unsubscribe.

I've got Lenny running Xserver-Xorg and I've noticed that the default Iceweasel aka Firefox is an older version and I prefer to run the latest. I have checked backports for stable and there doesn't appear to be a 3.5 version, so I got Mozilla's version. Only problem it depends on XUL* which wasn't available via my sources list for Lenny.
