What I'm interested in is indeed precisely to convert what I clicked on to an email address that gets inserted in a new email draft in emacs. This is done seamlessly in Fedora when using Mutt and Evolution, and with the script I referenced below, also with Gmail. I've now been able to modify the script and make it work my way by putting the following in Preferred Applications -> Mail Reader -> Custom -> Command: perl -e '$to = shift;$to =~ s/^mailto://i;exec("emacsclient", "-e", "(mh-smail-batch ".$to.")" );' '%s' (uncheck the "Run in treminal" tick box) Provided you are using MH-E and provided the emacs server is running, when you click on a mailto tag, a new buffer is opened in emacs with a new draft addressed according to the mailto tag you clicked on.
