In general I agree, but unfortunately client demands will tend to always
win. Many of the sites I produce are help/FAQ sites that relate to
specific parts of a clients site (such as shopping cart) and it would be
probably worse for a user to be removed from halfway through a purchase
to find out information for something, than to open a (warned about)
popup.

Can I ask what is so wrong with mailto links? I still use them in places
and have never had a problem with them, or heard of any?
