Ability to set GMail (or similar webmail) as preferred email client

[David Nielsen]

Probably most users today are using webmail over a desktop client such as Evolution. It would thus be nice if the gnome-default-applications-properties application would allow a user to set his preferred email client according to a list of popular providers such as GMail, Yahoo and Hotmail.

This should also impact the indicator applet to notify on new mails but the most important bit would be not breaking mailto: links for people on webmail. We live in a web 2.0 world and it would be great to acknowledge that by integrating better with the most commonly used services such as webmail.
