May 26 Update: Due to a security issue with MailtoMutt, it is temorarily unavailable for download. Read more about the current situation. Once the new version is released, this hint will be udpated.
If you want URLs like mail foo@bar.tld about stuff to work with mutt (or pine, if you patch the code, but blech), you can download a small program I wrote. Documentation is lacking, as is customizability, but hey, for my first Cocoa/Objective-C app I think it's OK.
To use it, download MailtoMutt, drop somewhere logical (Applications, maybe?), and then open Apple Mail, and in the Preferences, select MailtoMutt as your preferred mail application.
The code will be released under the GPL as soon as I know ed2k helper's licensing is OK with it. I stole the event handler registration from there. I also stole the url unescaping from iJournal, and under the BSD license.
Known bugs: there's a leak (i think it's not my fault) with the AppleScript object, and unicode text is not properly escaped for the AppleScript (it doesn't work with anything that you can't inline into AppleScript between two double quotes). There's also a small quirk in the icon -- it's fixed but i don't feel like rebuilding.
[robg adds: I haven't tested this hint, as I'm quite happy with Mail ... according to the current poll, though, there are at least eight of you that might be interested in this one! :) ]
