Not sure though if it still exists but some time there was a
mozilla and firefox extension "mozex" that lets you run an
arbitrarily program for mailto: links.  Just use

emacsclient -eval ...

In GNOME Preferences -> More Prefs -> Preferred Applications, I set
Mail Reader as "custom", using "gnus %s".  Then the following script
gives me the handling of mailto: links.

#!/bin/sh
export PATH=/usr/local/bin:"$PATH"
if [ "$1" = "" ] ; then
    exec xemacs -geometry 90x40 -f gnus-init
else
    if gnuclient -batch -eval t >/dev/null 2>&1 ; then
	exec gnuclient -batch -eval "(progn (gnus-url-mailto \"$1\") (set-buffer-modified-p nil))"
    else
	exec xemacs -geometry 90x40 \
	    -eval "(progn (require 'gnus-art) (gnus-url-mailto \"$1\") (font-lock-mode 1) (set-buffer-modified-p nil))"
    fi
fi
exec xmessage -center No XEmacs or gnuclient
echo no xemacs, no gnuclient, no xmessage
exit 1

As someone else observed, the "mozex" extension to FF should be able
to handle this with "gnus %s" for mailto: handling.

Note that for GNU Emacs, this only works with the CVS version.
