I was wondering if it's possible to make NS or MSIE to use a redirect as a mailto handler.

i.e. when clicking on a mailto link, instead of opening the user's favorite mail program, the browser would be redirected to the user's mail enhanced url such as

http://my.server.net/mail/newMessage?mailto:someone@somewhere.com$meters

This url in question would then pop up an appropriate form to send mail.
