Iceweasel's application details says the mailto link points to gmail on the web as one would expect. > > There is a package (gnome-gmail) that automates this, but I see it only > available for wheezy/sid. It's available to me on my testing (which I guess is wheezy) system. Thanks for the suggestion. I may try it, although I think it's a bug in Iceweasel.
