This was in my archives (don't recall what's important, so here's the
whole thing):

I think the following covers what was recently discussed on getting
Mozilla to go to PowerMail (and not vice versa).
"Mozilla and Powermail" thread:
from Thomas Mueller-Hotop:
-----
for OS 9.1:
Go to "Applications -> Mozilla Folder -> defaults -> pref "
and open the doc "all.js" with BBEdit and fill in
<pref("network.protocol-handler.external.mailto", true);>
without "<>" on the respective place.
After then Mozilla should open the Mail-Client you selected
in the "Internet" Control Panel.
On my system it works fine with Entourage (I'm very new with
PowerMail and new on the list, too).
I got this idea from the German "MacWelt" 02/03, page 134.

As far as mailto URLs from within Mozilla... thanks
for the tip. The workaround I found was to create a
user.js file in the same folder where all.js is
located.
The user.js file contains the following line:
user_pref("network.protocol-handler.external.mailto",
true);

For the now-moot issue of how to click on a "mailto" link in
Mozilla and get it to open a new e-mail message addressed to
that address in PM, Thomas Mueller-Hotop wrote:

I tried the same thing in OS 10.2.3, and it worked. Many thanks
for the hint.
On my system, the "all.js" file is in a different location
(Home > Library > Mozilla > Profiles > [username] > [a folder
with a seemingly random name]).
I added the following line to the file:
user_pref("network.protocol-handler.external.mailto", true);
because all the other lines began "user_pref", not "pref". I put
this line in its proper alphabetical location in the file, though
I don't know if that was necessary or not.

The name of the file that I modified was "prefs.js", not "all.js".
Sorry for the confusion.
