Bug Description

Binary package hint: evince

I have a pdf with a lot of email addresses, witch are linked as mailto:<email address hidden>. In acrobat they get opened by Outlook, but evince sends it to firefox as login details "name" at site office.com. It should just send it to email-client. Email-links get properly handled in firefox, sending them to Evolution.

I'm using Intrepid Beta, and Evince 2.24
