Hmm, I don't think that's worth the effort.
I just thought if it were configurable, it would not be an issue at all.

All the handlers we delegate URIs to, i.e. exo-open, gnome-open, kfmclient or 
(in the generic path) the browser, can handle mailto.

IMHO mailto should be correctly handled by xdg-open, xdg-email should just 
accept mailto for completeness, i.e. its usual use case would be taking the 
individual arguments.

Cheers,
Kevin
