other than spam - probably none.  (I get a lot of email, and if I don't
recognize the sender, I'm likely to open it up & see if it's a bug report,
since I do get a few that way)

I end up browsing a lot of pages because I'm trying to glean bug reports
that people don't bother reporting directly (and if I find something that's
questionable on a page with a useful mailto, I'll email the people - so
it does help to have something like that.

I don't keep track (but I'll keep mutt-users in mind the next time I go
browsing and break one or the other of w3m/links).
