mailto's can work with web-based accounts but you need a small utility or
JavaScript installed. See
http://mail.google.com/support/bin/answer.py?hl=en&answer=10966 for the
google method. Greasemonkey has scripts for firefox that work with any
web-based account.

The mailto URL should start whatever mail client you have as the default
client on your PC. Unless you've purchased an account directly from
Yahoo, I don't think there's a Yahoo client. I'm fairly sure there's no
gmail client, either, so there's no good way for a mailto URL to "take you
to" either Yahoo or gmail. Even if you get a Qwest account, unless Qwest
supplies a mail client, mailto URLs won't "go to" them, either.
