You have to set up a bookmark explicitly for mutt (mine has the command '/sw/bin/mutt "$$URL$$"'), and then bind this command to the mailto url (in the application preferences). Some applications don't listen to the what the default mail application is (such as inviting people to a calendar event). I have found that if you have some system wide applescript files you can convince it to use mutt (details for that are available http://blag.tsukasa.net.au/2008/11/12/moving-away-from-mailapp/) I hope this helps. -- Greg Darke
