When in a browser a "mailto:" Link is clicked, Icedove opens a window to
compose an email. Should something like this
be also possible for a link to a feed?

The idea is: The developer of a page in the web has written a link such as:

rss:http://www.veryclever.com/rss.php?f=0 (for a feed from Forum No. 0
for example) or
rss:https://www.topsecret.org/rss.php?f=0 (in case of a secure connection).

The user clicks this link. Icedove starts (if not already running),
creates an RSS account (if none exists), and adds
the feed to the account. The user now only needs to click "Get Msgs".

Should, by default, "Beim Programmstart Neue Artikel abrufen" (at launch
fetch new articles) be activated?

Should we also suggest this idea to the developers of the other browsers
(Firefox, Konqueror, Epiphany) and mail
clients (Thunderbird, Kmail, Evolution)?

Or does a feature like this already exist?

What about Atom feeds?
