Hey all, I recently started messing with mail clients because although Mutt is my usual client, I need one for a GUI as well for certain types of mails I get that work a little easier in a GUI. One of the clients I was suing today was Balsa, and for some reason I thought clicking on "Make default" would make it default when I was in Gnome only. After loading up K-Mail, and subscribing to the SUSE lists so I can keep up when using another account, I was like OK, why is Balsa loading as default in KDE too?? I looked in my home dir and the balsa .balsa file was empy so I removed it anyway, then looked in /etc and it's not there either. Does anyone know how I can make Kmail the default Mail client instead of Balsa? ^ One of the things I hate about GUI Email clients. -Allen.

¿Where did you click, in which app? I suppose you are seeing the result of desktops integration. To make a mua the default for gnome, I would have tinkered with the "gnome configuration editor", url-handlers/mailto. - -- Cheers, Carlos Robinson -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v1.4.0 (GNU/Linux) Comment: Made with pgp4pine 1.76 iD8DBQFDpATUtTMYHG2NR9URAhM3AKCQ+ckgu8wUPLsR6U0vbnWN1/yXOwCcCTEg m/+tdzKGB+AP1no5pkaIB4o= =dywr -----END PGP SIGNATURE-----

When you first open Balsa for the first time, at the end of the configuration it asks if you'd like to make it the default and I figured it meant Gnome only, but it made it default for everything no matter what Window Manager I have loaded it seems. -Allen

Hey thanks, but for some reason, if I go to say opensuse.org and click on the mailto: addys which would normally open up Balsa, (I've uninstalled it now) it just does nothing. I did exactly as you said even though Kmail was already selected but I changed to and put it back on Kmail just so I could click apply in case that would somehow change it, but as I said, it's not loading anything when I click on mail links. I don't really want to back up everything into another account and delete and re-create this one.... It's odd Balsa has nothing in /etc at all... Where is the "default mail client" setting at for everything? Because when this happened I had Gnome loaded and had just set up Balsa, and then even in KDE it would load and now as I sad, nothing does. -Allen
