I do not know if this is possible. It's a tricky problem.
How do you handle mailto: links when using web based email systems?

Microsoft do offer hotmail as the internet prefs default mailer,
however you still have to login to send email.

Mozilla adds some registry keys to the windows registry to allow it to be
the default mail app. It would be nice to have a similar .dll which
causes the default web browser to open on a given URL when a mailto
is clicked. eg the Horde/IMP login page.

Or even better, would be a .dll which redirects to a given
non-authenticated compose page in Horde/IMP. So people can click
on a mailto: which opens a compose window. They could then (as part of
the compose window) authenticate to send the email.

Has anyone seen anything like this anywhere?
