[PLUG] Handling 'mailto:' Response in Firefox

[Rich Shepard]

   When I want to send a message to an e-mail address presented on a Web page
I try to copy the text into alpine. Invariably, that text is a link and more
often than not my attempts to block it with the pointer for copying results
in link activation. This brings up Opera as the MUA; I don't use Opera or
any other browser for e-mail.

   The ideal solution is to have firefox ignore the link when accidently
clicked. I've not (yet) found how to do this.

   When I searched about:config for email, opera, messages and similar
strings I saw nothing that looked like a user-selectable switch to either
turn off the invocation of a browser-mail interface or change Opera to
alpine.

   Several web search attempts to find a solution also turned up barren.

   Please provide ideas, suggestions, and thoughts on how I can resolve this
situation.
