I've spent some time looking through the code of browse-url.el, and I've been 
unable to alter its code so that setting `browse-url-mailto-function' to 
`browse-url-default-browser' works. But my grasp of Elisp is not good. I'm 
going to make a detailed bug report as soon as I can find the time to make it.
