A more reusable approach would be to check for '://', as this is what
differentiates 'mailto:', relative paths and 'http://' links, but will
still allow you to use the script on secure pages.
Whenever dealing with href maniputlation, it's always good to keep
'https' in the back of your mind ;)

Other than that, it looks like a great approach for sites with client
controlled content. Sure beats trying to teach them to include a
different class or rel attrib on external links!
