How do I configure Mail Client in Firefox. Every time i click on a mailto: link some 50 windows of IE show up...

In Windows XP/2000, select Folder Options in the Control Panel, then click on the File Types tab. Here, browse to the file type called (None) URL:MailTo Protocol and click Advanced. Select the open action and click Edit.
Fill all columns like this
------
Action : open

App used : "C:\Program Files\Outlook Express\msimn.exe" /mailurl:%1

Check use DDE

DDE Message : blank

Application :msimn

DDE application Not Running : blank

Toipc:System

------
Another solution would be to using standalone mail client Mozilla Thunderbird instead.

I think the Windows Default mail Client is launched by FF, Just go to Program Access & Defaults and change your Mail Client..
