Windows sucks ass, and Mr. Bill is the spawn of Satan.. but that is just 
my opinion.  Die Mr. Bill, die ;-)!

emerge netscape-plugger
emerge netscape-flash
emerge mplayerplug-in (this one might be masked but works fine for me)

now make sure that the plug-ins are recognized by your browser of choice.  
As for the Java stuff I think that plugger takes care of that for you.. if
not you will need to emerge blackdown-jdk if I recall.

Open up preferences and add:

evolution mailto:"%s";

under e-mail client.. you will have to figure out where to put this line.  
It is of course slightly different for each browser.

Cheers,
