&gt; 

&gt; OK, that worked for opening the Evolution application but, how do you get it
&gt; to also open a new mail message and put the email address you just clicked
&gt; into the To: field?

&gt;&gt; Real easy...
&gt;&gt; 
&gt;&gt; Your browser doesn't know what  to do with the mailto: appendage on the
&gt;&gt; link you are clicking.  To know what to do, the browser needs an extension
&gt;&gt; to show it what to do.  (I'm assuming Firefox here, since that's where I've
&gt;&gt; seen it before)
&gt;&gt; 
&gt;&gt; To launch Evolution on clicking mailto: URLs:
&gt;&gt; 
&gt;&gt; To resolve 'mailto is not a registered protocol' in firefox complete the
&gt;&gt; following steps (courtesy of D0M1N8R, viper400 &amp; PJJ):
&gt;&gt; 
&gt;&gt; 
&gt;&gt; In a blank location bar instead of URL type:
&gt;&gt; about:config
&gt;&gt; 
&gt;&gt; That will bring up a list of preferences.
&gt;&gt; 
&gt;&gt; Right click, select New &gt; String
&gt;&gt; 
&gt;&gt; in the New String Value window
&gt;&gt; 
&gt;&gt; Enter the preference name
&gt;&gt; 
&gt;&gt;&gt; &gt; network.protocol-handler.app.mailto
&gt;&gt; 
&gt;&gt; click OK
&gt;&gt; 
&gt;&gt; in the Enter string value window
&gt;&gt; 
&gt;&gt; network.protocol-handler.app.mailto enter
&gt;&gt; 
&gt;&gt;&gt; &gt; /usr/bin/evolution (or wherever your executable evolution file is located)
&gt;&gt; 
&gt;&gt; click OK
&gt;&gt; 
&gt;&gt; Now, when a Firefox e-mail link is selected Evolution opens.
&gt;&gt; 
&gt;&gt; 
&gt;&gt; 
&gt;&gt; There is also an extension that *I* like to use with Mozilla/Firefox that
&gt;&gt; will allow you to specify a mailto: handler very easily.  It's called MozEx
&gt;&gt; and I found it here:

&gt;&gt; 
&gt;&gt; (I hope that works for you).
&gt;&gt; 
&gt;&gt; Love it!
&gt;&gt; 
&gt;&gt; 
&gt;&gt; I hope that helps.
