[TYPO3] Hoe to put a mailto link in Tmenu?

[Martin Kindler]

I want to have a simple "mailto"-link in one of my menus. How can I
accomplish this?
My first solution was an "External URL"-type page with a mailto-URL. Works,
but opens a "transfer"-page in addition to the "new mail" form of your
preferred mail program. Bad!

Another idea was to just hardcode it. Meaning changing my TMENU into a COA
with the old TMENU as one element and my "mailto" as another. This works too
but has the disadvantage of not supporting different languages easily (also
the placing of the mailto link is not really beautiful as changing the order
means splitting the TMENU into two ...)

What is "best practice" in doing this? I searched the mailing list and found
a posting with the same question but no answer.
