How to launch email client on mailto links?

How do I get Phoenix to launch my email client whenever I click on a mailto link?

Note that I'm using Gnome under Linux, if that matters.

From what I understand, there is no way to associate a mailto: link in phoenix to your favorite mail client under Linux.

Right click on the link, click "Copy Email Address".

Open up your email client, paste that link into the 'to' field.


It sucks, I know, but that's the only way there is for now.

I did, but the only answers given were for Windows, and as I said in my post, I'm using Linux.

There are a few threads for this question. Unfortunately, no one seems to have an answer. Someone suggested there is a bug in Buzilla, but I did not find one offhand.
