Details

User-Agent:       Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Windows NT 5.0; en-US; rv:1.2.1) Gecko/20021130
Build Identifier: Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Windows NT 5.0; en-US; rv:1.2.1) Gecko/20021130

When I come across a <mailto:> tag on a web page, I would like to be able to use
my default mail client to send an email.  However, Mozilla Mail always tries to
send the mail despite the fact that Outlook 2002 is my default mail client.

For office interoperability, this feature is a must to fix.  Until I can find
something as robust as Outlook 2002 to handle my group scheduling and calendar
features, I need Mozilla to allow me to use it with <sendto:> tags.

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1.Check Email Defaults in Internet Options under control panel and make sure
that Outlook is set as the default client.
2.Open page that has a <mailto:> tag
3.Click on <mailto:> tag

Actual Results:  
Mozilla Mail pops up and tries to handle the email.

Expected Results:  
Opened Outlook and allowed my default email program to handle the email.
