I can confirm that this happens exactly the same on my system - opensuse 11.1
with KDE 4.3.4.
However, I also have Ubuntu karmic on a laptop, so did some tests with this.
1. Clicking on a mailto: hyperlink in writer calls up evolution ( the
default
mail program)
2 Now the difference:
I installed kmail on the Ubuntu system and changed the default email
program
from evolution to kmail.
When I clicked on the mailto hyperlink in writer, kmail started
correctly.
It seems as if openoffice and kde are not working together correctly.
I'll add my 2p to your bug report.
