OK. I just installed Pegasus Mail Version 4.52 on a Win7 system with
SeaMonkey 2.0.4:

o Set the default options in Win7 Control Panel to set Pegasus as the
default email program vs SeaMonkey:
Control Panel|Default Programs|Set your default programs|Pegasus
Mail|Choose defaults for this program|ticked the 'Mailto' and 'MAPI'|Save

o Opened SeaMonkey & added the previously suggested preference in
about:config
http://seamonkey.ilias.ca/browserfaq/mailto
<quote>
Enter about:config in the location bar.
Add the Boolean preference network.protocol-handler.external.mailto.
Set the value to true.
</quote>

o Tested by going to:
http://www.seamonkey-project.org/about#contact
and clicking on the mailto in "please mail the SeaMonkey Council at
[email protected].". SeaMonkey immediately pops up and gives
me the option:
 Pegasus Mail WSENTO Utility
and of course I could check the 'Rememeber my choice for mailto links'
if I wish this as the default in the future... I don't as I only am
testing. Choose "Pegasus Mail WSENTO Utility" and click OK. Off I go to
Pegasus & [email protected] is already filled in for me in
the 'To:' address line.

So, it appears that this *does* indeed work. I'll now change my
network.protocol-handler.external.mailto preferences back false & set
SeaMonkey as the default mailer & reboot back to linux. Have a great
weekend :-)
