For those interested:
Here is the original "Mailto Compose in GMail" (which was feature in the Greasemonkey Hacks book and handles all the mailto: url formats):

could you make it so it opens in a new tab?

Here is a hacked source to open a gmail compose window, as requested. YMMV.
// ==UserScript== // @name GMailTo // @namespace andrinvr@gmail.com // @description Forces all mailto links to open in GMail // @include * // ==/UserScript==



//Super fast recursive lookup if it is a mailto: link

function goUp(target,howmany) {

	if(howmany>0) {

		if(target.nodeName=="A") {

			if(target.href.indexOf("mailto:")==0) {

				mail=target.href.substring(7);

				if((strip=mail.indexOf("?"))!=-1) {

					mail=mail.substring(0,strip);	

				}

				if((strip=mail.indexOf("&"))!=-1) {

					mail=mail.substring(0,strip);	

				}

				//target.href="http://mail.google.com/mail/?view=cm&fs=1&tf=1&to="+mail;

                                var mailwin = window.open("https://mail.google.com/mail/?view=cm&tf=0&to="+mail+"&cc=&su=&body=&fs=1","mailwin","menubar=no,toolbar=no,location=no,directories=no,personalbar=no,status=no,dependent=yes,width=640,height=480");

				//target.target="_blank";

                                target.href = null;

                                target.target = null;

                                mailwin.focus();

                                return false;

			} else {

				return;

			}

		} else {

			if(target.parentNode!=null) {

				goUp(target.parentNode,--howmany);

			} else {

				return;

			}

		}

	} else {

		return;

	}

}

window.addEventListener("click",function(e) { if(e.which==1) { mail=goUp(e.target,5) } }, false);

Nice little script.

Could someone tweak the script so that clicking a mailto-link would pop up a Gmail compose window, which closes automatically after you have sent the e-mail. My javascript skills are non-existent :).

This is okay, but this is much better (full support for 'mailto' urls):
