If user.js still works with SM 2, set the preferences there instead of using about:config. With SM 1.1.x, this is a text file. Whatever installed default setting SeaMonkey has for a preference, user.js overrides it. The format is user_pref("network.protocol-handler.expose.mailto", true); The semi-colon at the end is required; many users forget it and then wonder why it doesn't work. Making this work also requires completely terminating SeaMonkey and then restarting it. -- David E.
