Getting mail links working correctly with web based email in FireFox 3.
2 preset options exist: Gmail and Yahoo. To choose one of these open firefox and go to Edit>Preferences>Applications search for mailto use the drop down menu to select gmail or yahoo in place of evolution.
For other mail services: It is possible to use other web mail services not offically supported by firefox as well. To do so you'll need to navigate to your webmail and log in. Once at either your inbox or a compose page you'll need to enter the fallowing javascript command into firefox's URL window and you should be given an option to add your webmail to the list in firefox.
http://javascript:window.navigator.registerProtocolHandler("mailto","http://WEBMAIL.URL/?extsrc=mailto&url=%s","Service Name")
Replace webmail.url with the Url to your webmail's inbox or compose page. Replace Service Name, with the name of your mail provider.
For example to use AOL's AIM Mail
http://javascript:window.navigator.registerProtocolHandler("mailto","http://webmail.aol.com/39997/?extsrc=mailto&url=%s","AIMMail")
Once you have added your webmail to the list and set it as the default, email links should now send you to your webmail instead of trying to open evolution.
