Your guess is correct.
As for your suggestion in an another mail, it seems very sensible.
However, it does not work for me and I do not know why. Selecting
"Mail Reader" in Preferences/Applications looks like a good bet but
it does nothing. Even specifying /usr/bin/claws-mail has no effect.
Is a script really necessary when the options in Iceweasel seem so
clear-cut?
I use mutt, which provides /usr/lib/mutt/mailto-mutt. I adapted that
for the script I gave.
