Using KMail with netscape

Hello

How can I configure KMail to start a browser other than konqueror e.g.
netscape or something like 'netscape --remote ...'?

Is it possible to have netscape/mozilla start 'kmail --compose' on mailto:
links? If yes, how?

Concerning the 1st question I have done some experiments. I have written a 
script to start netscape and associated it with the text/html mime type. Then 
the following happens:

At first kmail uses konqueror to fetch the page (it emits a GET
request). Then it determines the mime type to make a decision what
application to start. Based on text/html it starts netscape that fetches
the page again.

Here is a bit of sniffing on the network while clicking on
http://www.bahn.de:

I believe the same happens when a https link is clicked.

But I also get mails with https links that require client certificates that 
are not installed in konqueror. Thus, the first request with konqueror fails 
and kmail says "Could not connect to host ...".

What I really want is that kmail starts my script when it encounters a
http://... or https://... link based on that pattern not on the mime type.
