I should have been more specific. I'm not trying to click on a mailto link in
iTerm, but the other way around. I thought you could set up iTerm to be the
recipient of mailto links (much like you can set it up for SSH). I was hoping
there was some way to click on a link in Safari and have it pop open a new
iTerm window that called 'mutt na...@address.com'. Or something along those
lines.
Thanks! Works great. Mutt can handle mailto: uris as a command line
argument, so this works well for me as is.

Using mutt in iTerm2 Build 0.20.20110301 on MacOS X 10.6.7 cmd-click on (for
example) mailto:tg...@protozoic.com opens Firefox which then is trying to
connect to http://mailto:tg...@protozoic.com/.
Just wondering, most likely I missed something.

So what I did, assuming you are using the newest nightly build, is to make a
new profile called 'mail reply' or whatever you wish. In the general section,
down at the bottom in 'URL Schemes', select 'mailto'. Then, in the Command
section, select 'Command' and enter:
/usr/local/bin/mutt $$URL$$
or whatever the path to your mutt is. Then, when you click on a mailto link
in your browser, iTerm should fire up a new window with mutt loaded and
addressed to the mailto link.
As far as cmd-clicking on a mailto in iTerm, it does appear to open in browser
window. You have to right click it and select "Send email to selected
address" instead. Maybe that could be changed? Shouldn't all mailto links
and email addresses open up in your mail program and not in a browser?
