 When there is an email address in a conversation, and I click on it,
 instead of Pidgin passing it to the default email client on my system
 (Outlook for me), it passes it to the default browser (Opera for me). I
 have verified this with different IM protocols (AIM, googletalk, and MSN)
 and on 2 different computers. I do not believe it to be a system
 configuration problem because when I enter mailto: links in the start>run
 dialog they are handled correctly, and when I click on them while browsing
 a website in Opera they are also handled correctly. Only when using pidgin
 do mailto: links get passed to my browser.
