Hi,

I had the same problem. Iceweasel did not open the mailto links.
When "xmessage" put in place of icedove - it shows the mailto: url.
after continuous clicking on mailto links I found that there are a lot 
of icedove processed launched
like this:

  8255 ?        S      0:00 /bin/sh /usr/bin/icedove mailto:test at test.com
  8273 ?        S      0:00  \_ /bin/sh /usr/lib/icedove/run-mozilla.sh 
/usr/lib/icedove/icedove-bin test at test.com
  8277 ?        S      0:00      \_ /usr/lib/icedove/icedove-bin

/usr/lib/icedove/icedove-bin test at test.com
  8404 ?        S      0:00      \_ /usr/lib/icedove/icedove-bin 
mailto:test at test.com
  8377 ?        S      0:00 /bin/sh /usr/bin/icedove mailto:test at test.com

/usr/lib/icedove/icedove-bin test at test.com
  8432 ?        S      0:00      \_ /usr/lib/icedove/icedove-bin 
mailto:test at test.com

comparing environment from successful launches (from command line) with 
unsuccessful ones (from iceweasel)
I found that there LD_PRELOAD  variable is set by iceweasel to use 
libaoss.so.
After setting ICEWEASEL_DSP="none" in /etc/iceweasel/iceweaselrc 
everything works fine.

Now I wonder - why icedove can not work with libaoss preloaded ?
Should I open a separate bug for it ?

Regards
Timur
