I did to, and it's a bug with PMMailMozilla.
The info.txt says to put the following line into prefs.js:
user_pref("applications.mailto.parameters", "\"%url%\"");
When you click on a mailTo link, the parameter passed into PMMail.cmd
is "[EMAIL PROTECTED]" including the double quotes (and maybe some
extra blanks). PMMail.cmd has the following lines:
/* delete leeding and traling spaces */
url = Strip(url)
/* delete the first and last two characters (\") */
url = Right(url, Length(url) -2)
url = Left(url, Length(url) - 2)
But, there is only one character to strip off. I assume the '\"' in
the prefs.js line is to escape the double quote so it doesn't get
interpreted as a delimiter.
So, the fix is either change the line so it does put two characters
in. Or, modify the two lines from PMMail.cmd above to have a 1
instead of 2. This is what I did.
Alternatively, you could replace both lines with:
url = Strip(url, , '"') /* That's: single quote, double quote,
single quote */
