The problem you are having is indeed probably the result of a
"Security Enhancement."
It has to do with limiting the way URLs work. (It's the same change
that prevents javascript: urls from working)
See an earlier message from Steve Gulie ("Hotspots not working" Nov.
23, 2007)
From one of the links he references:
The QuickTime 7.1.5 Update places the following new restrictions on
all URLs passed to the QuickTime plug-in:
- URLs cannot cross local/remote zone boundaries
Note: These URL restrictions only apply to the QuickTime plug-in, not
to the rest of QuickTime (the QuickTime Player, the QuickTime API,
and so on).
Here's how it works:
Prior to asking the user's web browser to access a URL, the QuickTime
plug-in compares the requested URL with the "src" URL (the URL for
the movie as specified in HTML) and does the following:
If the "src" movie is http:, https:, data:, rtsp:, or if there is no
"src" attribute at all, it allows only http: and https: URLs.
If the "src" movie is "file:" it allows only file: URLs.
In other words, a local movie can invoke only local URLs, such as
another local movie, and remote movies can invoke only remote URLs,
such as another remote movie or a web page. Furthermore, remote URLs
are restricted to the http:// and https:// protocols. Other
protocols, such as javascript://, are prohibited.
Note the last sentence. Of course, "mailto:"; is one of those "other
protocols" and is therefore prohibited.

I have read on the list of changes that "broke" flash functions and
changed the allowed java script calls but....
I checked a recently released title that I authored with a simple
url request in LiveStage:
GoToURL("mailto:etc";)
It doesn't work anymore.
Is this broke for good or can I hope Apple will "fix" it?
If Apple killed the function for good .... what's the best work
around?
Thanks,
