I just got it! I went back to about:config and looked again there. My string network.protocol-handler.external.mailto was at the very top of the list, which was odd. I looked down the pages and found other values starting with the: network.protocol-handler.external... So why was network.protocol-handler.external.mailto at the very top? Ahah! I had capitalized the first letter, like this! Network.protocol-handler.external.mailto THAT was keeping it from working?!?!?! I deleted the value, it removed it, then I added network.protocol-handler.external.mailto and it appeared instead, down the list with the others! THEN the next time I clicked on the mailto link on a web page, it opened that box and ASKED me what I wanted to use! At first I clicked on winpm-32.exe but that only took me into Pegasus when it was used, and didn't open a new email. So I had to go into Preferences - Helper Applications and change it to use wsendto.exe, and THAT did it! NOW we know and hopefully this post will stay archived so others can see it in the future! Thanks guys, for all your patient help with this!
