The x-scheme-handler/mailto addition looks very much correct, since kmail can
take a mailto URL as argument.

However the message/rfc822 addition doesn't look correct, since passing a path
to a .eml file to kmail doesn't work, the command-line option --msg is
necessary for that. So this would require a different .desktop file with --msg
%f in the Exec line, but that wouldn't help "using kmail as the default mailer
in gnome" since you want to run "kmail", not "kmail --msg".

Seems to me that this is an oversight in the way that gnome control center
works. It cannot be assumed that we can just run the command for vieweing a
mail file, and run that same command without arguments in order to start the
full mail application.

Does it work ok if you only add the x-scheme-handler mimetype?
