From Bugzilla Helper: User-Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Windows NT 5.1; en-US; rv:1.0.0) Gecko/20020530 BuildID: 2002053012 ShellExecute(0,0,"mailto:test@server.com",0,0,SW_SHOWNORMAL); does not open mozilla mail. It opens <shiver> Outlook. Start->Run: mailto:test@server.com does the same thing. This should just be a registry entry on installatition. (I think)

what is your setting in : Edit\preferences\Mail&Newsgroups\[x] Use Mozilla as default Mail application (you must run Mozilla as administrator )
Confirming on BuildID 2002080508 on WinXP. Simple MAPI?

Personal opinion: this is a bug, not an enhancement since that option is present in Prefs and it adds to IE's e-mail program list. Here is an e-mail that led me to do a search for ShellExecute: From John Schracher of Bugtoaster.com: Hello Brant- My guess is that Netscape did not properly set all aspects of the pluggable "MailTo" protocol in the Windows registry and it's still registered to Outlook Express. Netscape has a history of not properly using the Windows registry. Here's the nitty-gritty details: To launch the email client we use the following code snippet --- Begin Snippet --- // let Windows (ShellExecute API) do its magic LPCTSTR pszUrl = "mailto:clientsupport@bugtoaster.com"; ::ShellExecute( NULL, "open", pszUrl, NULL, NULL, SW_NORMAL )); --- End Snippet --- The ShellExecute() API looks at the pluggable "MailTo" protocol in the Windows registry under: "HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\mailto\shell\open\command" ...and launches the appropriate command string. The registry points to Outlook Express and it should point to Mozilla. I would think this would be a rather simple fix and many people would benefit so nominating as a blocker.
