Yeah, the "contact us" links on websites used to be mailto URL's, but they have since been replaced with contact forms. In fact, at one time, form submissions went to a mailto link but then people started preferring server-side scripts. So yeah, mailto appears every now and then, but there are more obscure protocols; ever seen a link that started with ftp? I wouldn't be surprised if there were FTP servers before there were HTTP (web) servers.
