In firefox's address bar enter "about:config" to get a list of all

then you have to make two changes:
change "network.protocol-handler.expose.mailto" to "TRUE"
and then create a new string variable (right mouse-click and click
"new -> string") called
"network.protocol-handler.app.mailto". Set this variable's value to
the command line you use
to start your mail client. A simple "thunderbird" does the job for
that client, options like mail address, subject etc,
if contained in the link you clicked, will automatically be used for
the new mail.
Okay, I have to correct myself. While this does indeed work fine on my
elderly lfs5.1 system and firefox-1.0.0 there seems to be some problem
with firefox-1.0.7 on my brandnew system. In thunderbird the "mailto:";
part of the link gets included into the address part of the mail header.
This will cause the mail to bounce. I'm not sure if that is a bug either
in newer versions (later than 1.0.0) of firefox or thunderbird, or if
something was changed on purpose...
I'll try to find a solution, but maybe somebody else already knows
one... :)

FWIW, on my LFS 6.1 system with Firefox 1.0.7 the "mailto:"; part is not
included in both Mutt as Thunderbird 1.0.7.
