Failed to parse mailto: link

Mutt can't read $*

This is with iceweasel 3.5.2 and
Mutt 1.5.20+lxtec (2009-07-23)

All the contributed solutions don't extract the URL in to the
mailbody of mutt in the case of choosing send link within FF3.5.2.

Hello Elimar,

in the mutt package is the shellscript /usr/lib/mutt/mailto-mutt, which
is the solution for your problem. These are the first lines from the
script.

# mailto-mutt -- wrapper to be able to use mutt as mailto handler from
# firefox
#
# To use, surf to Firefox's about:config page and configure the
# following
# three values:
# network.protocol-handler.external.mailto boolean true
# network.protocol-handler.app.mailto string '/path/to/handler'
# network.protocol-handler.warn-external.mailto boolean false

Apart from my other message you can also make it like this:

settings -> apps -> mailto -> /usr/lib/mutt/mailto-mutt

You are right, it's only included in unstable "mutt (1.5.20-2)", but the
OP wrote that he works with "iceweasel 3.5" which is in experimental. So
I thought a solution for unstable is ok.
