OK, let's take
http://ccs.land.moi.gov.tw/jsp/ExpenseController

On the bottom there are two mailto links.

Let's talk about this one,

<a href="mailto:[email-masked];[email-masked]?subject=地政電子資料流服務網意見信箱"><img src="../images/mail1.gif" alt="意見信箱" border="0">意見信箱</a>

Well, you could say "Just browse it with M-x w3m, and click the link
there. That will launch a message buffer with everything filled in
fine."

That is true. However in w3m this is just

<a href="mailto:[email-masked]?subject=地政電子資料流服務網意見信箱"><img src="../images/mail1.gif" alt="意見信箱" border="0">意見信箱</a>

That is because some javascript perhaps changed it.

Therefore we need to use the chromium browser.

OK, but in chromium, clicking the mailto link won't notify emacs,
because emacs'
/usr/share/applications/* files, although there, don't have a mailto
line in them.
