[opensuse-factory] [TW] default email client
Hi all, I just noticed that plasma5 seems to ignore my setting for the preferred email client. I went to System Settings -> Default Applications and selected Email Client. 'Use a different email client' is checked, as is 'Run in terminal' Still, when I click on a mailto: link in the browser, or use kde-open5 from the command line, it runs kmail :(( kde-open5 <URL> *does* use the (different) browser specified, I can also change (in the System Settings) the File Manager, and kde-open5 would immediately honor the change. It just seems to ignore the change for emails. Am I doing something wrong, or is it a bug? System is an (up-to-date) Tumbleweed with Plasma5 Peter -- Dr. Peter "Pit" Suetterlin http://www.astro.su.se/~pit Institute for Solar Physics Tel.: +34 922 405 590 (Spain) P.Suetterlin@royac.iac.es +46 8 5537 8559 (Sweden) Peter.Suetterlin@astro.su.se -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-factory+unsubscribe@opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse-factory+owner@opensuse.org

Gah, of course I also entered a different client - mutt in my case. -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-factory+unsubscribe@opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse-factory+owner@opensuse.org

The issue is most likely that your web browser doesn't follow KDE settings, and uses some other way to figure out which mail client to use. So try and figure out how to configure the browser itself to launch the proper applications. -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-factory+unsubscribe@opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse-factory+owner@opensuse.org
