Description of problem:
I decided to start using Balsa because Evolution is overkill for my
home e-mail needs. I went to Preferences->Preferred Applications->Mail
Reader and selected the top radio button, then picked Balsa from that
menu. When I did so, the grayed Custom Mail Reader command box changed
to balsa --compose=%s. However, when I tried using mailto:: links,
balsa was not called. 

I read the man page for balsa and found that it recommended using
balsa -m "%s" as the command for having it handle mailto's. I went
back to the Mail Reader preferences, set the radio button for Custom
Mail Reader, and entered balsa -m "%s" in the command box. After that,
balsa was properly called when I clicked on mailto links.
