Fixing Mailto: Protocol for Google Apps

Windows:

We'll need to modify a registry key for this one.  

Looking under [HKEY_CLASS_ROOT\mailto\shell\open\command]

You'll need to change the default key to the following (Changing youdomain.com to your domain)

rundll32.exe url.dll,FileProtocolHandler http://mail.google.com/a/yourdomain.com/?extsrc=mailto&url=%1

OR

A reg file can be created also for use in a script

1. Open Notepad and paste the following

Windows Registry Editor Version 5.00

[HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\mailto\shell\open\command]
@="rundll32.exe url.dll,FileProtocolHandler http://mail.google.com/a/bethelsd.org/?extsrc=mailto&url=%1"

2. Save as googlemailto.reg 

Mac:

You can use webmailer to set this up. I'm working on a script that copies the webmailer.app and the preference over then changes the default mail client.
