I have a similar problem with Pan 0.119. With 0.14.x, I
could click on Reply/Forward By Email, and it would just do it;
now it tries to launch Pine on my machine, but makes trouble.
Most of my browser do something like that; they launch
pine in a terminal on my machine. I postpone the message as soon
as I have addresse, subject, and something to remind me what it's
about; quit pine; and try to remember to check postponed messages
next time I launch it properly (not often; I do my mail on a
remote machine under ssh). That works, but it's a kludge.
So maybe what to tell non-mail apps to do with mailto
links, and how??
