Webmailer overview
Webmailer is a preference pane for setting mailto: parameters in OS X. Ever click on a mailto: link, only to scream in frustration as Apple Mail opens yet again? The curse of the webmail user is that there is no way to get around this problem. That is, until now. Webmailer is an unoriginally named program (actually a preference pane) for Mac OS X that allows you to fix this problem. You can set it to open any URL or run any shell script, complete with the parameters lifted from the mailto link. Webmailer comes with links for several possible webmail sites, including Yahoo! Mail, Gmail, Hotmail, and several webmail programs, such as SquirrelMail or Roundcube. But you can always add your own configuration.
What’s new in version 1.3.1
Version 1.3.1:
- In addition to always using your default browser, Webmailer can now always use a non-default browser to handle your webmail, even if it isn't open.
- Basic AppleScript support: set active destination to destination "Apple Mail"
- Webmailer can now export and import its settings, in order to make migration to a new user account easier. (Apple's Migration Assistant tool should continue to include Webmailer's settings as well.)
- Bug fix: Shell script actions were not being recognized by newer C shells.
- Bug fix: Header fields were being matched by placeholders whose names were suffixes (i.e. [bar] would match
foobar=baz).

Version: 1.3.1
Still works on OS X 10.11 El Capitan despite the System Preferences pane crashing constantly. Just go to Mail.app and change the Default email reader there. It opens Gmail for me in my browser.

INDISPENSABLE!!!
Works perfectly on Mac OS 10.6.6. It is a necessary tool if you have web fetch mail accounts in addition to Apple Mail.

Does what it says, and the added touch of being able to edit the URLs and even throw in a script as the action is sweet (and really only limits what can be done to short-scripting abilities). A couple of issues with the 1.1 release that were corrected by the programmer within 2 days of the first email being sent.
And for someone to rate it low because of an issue they don't even contact the programmer about should be blocked from being able to write reviews! (it took using a brand new user account on the programmer's computer to replicate my issue, so he does what it takes to fix the problem if you give him enough details)

Why just install a PrefPane for one use when you can install a PrefPane that does so much more.
