First, your browser cannot determine what the default email client is (Kmail, Thunderbird, etc...). Seeing as mailto: is a protocol, you'll probably have to configure an application handler for that protocol. I'm not sure of the details, but you should be able to go into the Konqueror settings, and do this there. (Assuming you are using Konqueror).
Second, if the web page you are viewing to send mail is doing so via a form, this "feature" has been deprecated and shouldn't be used anymore. Not that you can do much about the page if it's not yours. (i.e. the HTML declaration for the form probably looks something like this: <form action="mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]" action="post"> - that's a no-no with HTML 4.0. However, you could be clicking on an anchor tag/hyperlink that is causing your grief. This causes the first problem above when you don't have a default mail client. BUT, there's a work around - right click on the link, and copy the URL to the clipboard, then open a new email message, and paste the address into the TO box... This doesn't work in 100% of the cases, but is fine for most. Hope this helps.
