I have been trying to figure this out for a few days. I searched all
over the web and I cannot believe that I am the only person with this
issue.
When I have I click on a mailto link inside the app, the simulator and
the device both redirect me to a page where it says: "Web page not
available ...."
I am bit new to android, I was browsing the phonegap java source and
saw you were calling a new Intent on mailto:
else if(url.startsWith("mailto:"))
{
Intent mail = new Intent(Intent.ACTION_SENDTO, Uri.parse(url));
startActivity(mail);
return true;
}
Should I add a new intent filter for this? if yes then How?
I also noticed the PhoneGap Demo app does not have an email button
test so I am confused whether sending an email is supported on android
or not?

I'm pretty sure that on an older project I had mailto working on
Android, but the project is on another machine that I don't have
access to right now. Have you tried <a
href="javascript:window.location.href = 'mailto:... ? Also, have you
tried it on an actual device? Could be that the simulator doesn't have
any E-mail support (not sure tho)

I tried it on actual device, I have it:
<a href="mailto:te...@test.com">email</a>
it just gives "page not found"
<a href="mailto:te...@test.com">email</a>
it just gives "page not found"

I don't have time to test this now, but my guess is that this is
related to phonegaps special URI handling. It does special things to
try to keep everything on the one file that phonegap uses. Phonegap
has special handling for tel:// and external web addresses. My guess
that this code is at fault. I might have some time to take a look at
it tomorrow. Hopefully that helps.

IT is a very weird behavior.
I deployed the same app on a blackberry, nokia and iphone and it works
fine.
Only Android does not respond to "mailto" hrefs.

this is a bug in DroidGap.
GapViewClient.shouldOverrideUrlLoading does not support mailto:
scheme. it also handles tel:// only (I think tel:xxxxxx is more
common...).
I've modified this method as it was described here
http://groups.google.com/group/android-developers/browse_thread/thread/ddc289d7701f944e/88c38bfa7d1a2a2a?lnk=gst&q=tel%253A
and it works fine.
