      Description

      Our organisation wanted to track 'mailto' links in emails from CiviMail.

      This was a really really simple change to one line to enable.

      The submitted PR will enable click tracking on mailto: links whenever the 'Track Click Throughs' setting is enabled for a mailing. It also adds a note to the help text to specify that mailto: links will also be tracked.

      This means mailto: links will pop open a browser window before opening the 'new email' window in whatever email client they have configured.

      Alternatives to this PR: do we need a whole new setting for this (seems overkill)? Do we not want it in core at all?
