        Would anyone object to having this set by default in the
pkgsrc package?

It depends. Yes, if this means that firefox would be opened as soon as
start reading a mail which uses http or any of the other protocols.

I don't think that that's what it would do.  It's only activated if you
click on a link within the email.

        Exactly. Sorry - I should have made that clear in my initial
        email. Given that... any objections?


There should be a way to disable this support, so people who just want
to read mails and not to bother with links in it will not be caught by
starting a browser.
