I'm guessing mutt can't parse the mailto: line given out by iceweasel.

Here's a very quick and very dirty bit of perl I knocked up; I'm not 
suggesting it's right, but it'll hopefully give you a starting point:


#!/usr/bin/perl

sub escape {
  $result=$_[0];
  $result=~s{(["\$])}{\\$1}g;
  return "\"$result\"";
}

($dummy, $params)=split /:/, $ARGV[0], 2;
($address, $params)=split /\?/, $params, 2;
print "$params\n";
for $x(split /&/, $params) {
  ($key, $val)=split /=/, $x, 2;
  print "$key: $val\n";
  $paramhash{$key}=$val;
}

$cmd="mutt";
$cmd.=" -s ".escape($paramhash{"subject"}) if($paramhash{"subject"});
$cmd.=" -c ".escape($paramhash{"cc"}) if($paramhash{"cc"});
$cmd.=" -b ".escape($paramhash{"bcc"}) if($paramhash{"bcc"});
$cmd.=" $address";

print "$cmd\n";
exec "$cmd";
