A couple problems getting Mozilla 0.9.9 to handle mailto: urls in
Windows 2000.

After installing Mozilla and checking "Use Mozilla Mail as the default
mail application", Windows would still open "mailto:"; links with
Outlook Express. (bug #1?)

Going to Control Panel->Settings->Internet Properties->Programs, for
"E-mail" it said "Mozilla 0.9.9 Mail", but
HKCR\mailto\shell\open\command was calling Outlook Express.
So I changed the "E-mail" setting in Internet Properties to "Outlook
Express".
Now, I went back to Mozilla Mail, and checked "Use Mozilla Mail as the
default mail application," hit okay, but when I went back to Internet
Properties, it still said "Outlook Express", and going back to Mozilla
options, it was unchecked.
Checking the setting in Mozilla options, hitting okay, and immediately
opening options again, it would appear unchecked. (bug #2?)

So I changed the "E-mail" setting in Internet Properties back to
"Mozilla 0.9.9 Mail", and now the option was checked in Mozilla
options, and HKCR\mailto\shell\open\command was calling 'MOZILLA.EXE
"%1"'
However, if I typed "mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]"; in Windows Start->Run, it
would start a (Mozilla) compose window with To:[EMAIL PROTECTED], but it
would also open up a (Mozilla) browser window with
"mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]"; as the url.
Changing HKCR\mailto\shell\open\command to 'MOZILLA.EXE -mail "%1"'
fixed that problem. (bug #3?)

It appears to be working fine now.  Has anyone else had the same
problem?  I couldn't find any of those listed in Bugzilla.
