Probably irrelevant: why urls? Does Pan assume webmail is the only kind of mail there is??
Maybe because a url is a Uniform Resource Locater? Maybe because it's a standard way to define a combination of location and protocol on the Internet? There are url forms other than http:, you know, such as ftp:, mailto:, news: and even gopher: that are used. I presume Pan uses mailto: to set up email because that's the standard way to do it, even though some old Unix programs such as Pine still haven't gotten into the Third Millenium and learned how to use it.
