I've never seen a satisfactory (read "working") solution to the general problem of getting PMMail98 to respond properly to the "mailto" URL tag. I use both IE4 and Opera 3.5, and it comes as no surprise that there are problems with Netscape as well. Although I use PMMail for day-to-day mail tasks, my work-around solution was simply to install Pegasus Mail to handle mailto tags.

I find this surprising that you are having such problems.  I use NSProto
and it's working just fine  for me.  As Cristi said, more information
would help.  A coupla questions for the both of you (Dirk & Marko):

1.  You *are* using NSProto, aren't you?  (You didn't specify that you
are.)
2. Which version of PMMail98 are you using?  (I'm using 2.01.16)

for Dirk:

1. Which version of Navigator are you using?  (I'm using 4.05)
