This is also a problem on other operating system, e.g. windows. You can 
fix this by adding the following to your prefs.js file:

// If you want Mozilla to open up a mail client other than Mail/News
// when you click on a mailto: URL, add this pref.
// More detailed information can be found here
user_pref("network.protocol-handler.external.mailto", true);

You can find this tip at http://www.geocities.com/pratiksolanki/

There is also a link how to find your prefs.js and how to change it.

I would say this is a BeOS specific problem of the current port.
