I updated the code a little to fix handling of '#' in mailto URIs per  
advice from <http://lists.w3.org/Archives/Public/public-iri/>.

The latest will always be at  
<http://shadow2531.com/sm/html5_mailto.php.zip>.

The php file used to be named mailto_protocol_handler.php, but I changed  
it to html5_mailto.php to better reflect what it does. (It's a version of  
mailto.php that accepts an HTML5 compose URI like gmail, fastmail and  
yandex do. Opera and Firefox generate these URIs and other browsers will  
eventually.)

I made it for my 1.4.x setup, so I'm not sure how it works with 1.5.x.

Have fun with it.

You can test it in Opera by editing "C:\Program  
Files\Opera\defaults\webmail_providers.ini" (while Opera is closed) and  
adding a new entry that will look like this:

[SquirrelMail]
ID=Previous ID + 1
URL=http://smserver.com/src/html5_mailto.php?uri=%s
ICON=http://smserver.com/favicon.ico

Then, you just goto "tools -> preferences -> advanced -> programs ->  
mailto -> edit" and select your new webmail entry. Then, clicking on  
mailto links will open in SquirrelMail. (Opera allows you to do this the  
old way with compose.php?sent_to= etc. and mailto.php too. Just look at  
the replacement key guide in the ini file)

For Firefox, see  
<https://developer.mozilla.org/en/Web-based_protocol_handlers> (and  
remember to temporarily enabled  
gecko.handlerService.allowRegisterFromDifferentHost in about:config if  
running the JS register code from a local page or javascript: URI.)
