In the meantime, came up with following:
    (setq browse-url-generic-program "/usr/bin/xterm")
    (setq browse-url-generic-args '("-e" "mutt"))
    (setq browse-url-browser-function '(("^mailto:"; . browse-url-
generic)
                                        ("." . browse-url-firefox)))
which works fine.  Now, I'm wondering is it possible to somehow made
these assignments to "browse-url-generic-program" and "browse-url-
generic-args" to be "local" for handling "mailto" case?  What if I
want multiple cases, and want to use different "generic" browsers for
them?

Thanks.
