Hugo,
In my sarge mozilla 1.7.8, clicking a mailto link opens the compose
window in thunderbird. No extensions needed. It just works. :)
I think this behavior is set by gnome-control-center -> advanced ->
preferred applications. I do not use a gnome environment other than gdm
login and gnome-settings-daemon. Openbox is the window manager.
Regards,
Ralph
