- Firefox to use kmail for follow mailto: and send emails (I really don't know if this is fixed or not, I'm posting from my openSUSE 11.0).
I don't think that needs "fixing". Firefox should use thunderbird by default, obviously, as it is the other half of the suite. However, you should be able to change that.
I think it should use whatever default e-mail client you configured. In KDE you can set this and I assume you can in GNOME as well..
GNOME come with evolution and KDE with kmail so having firefox to default to thunderbird sounds wrong to me..
With Firefox, you supposedly set the mail-to handler. In FF, you type about:config in the url. This brings up a bunch of stuff with config items. In the Filter area, type "mailto" and hit Enter or Tab to make the selection. You'll see all the "mailto" items. If it isn't, double-click on network.protocol-handler.external.mailto and make sure the value is "true". It should be by default. Now, do a right-click again and select New > String. A window will appear, asking you to set the name of the new config item, set it to network.protocol-handler.app.mailto and and click OK to confirm. A second window will appear to ask for the value of the config item. Type kmailservice and click OK. YMMV - I've tried this several times and get nothing for mailto: links. Here's some other info. http://forums.opensuse.org/archives/sf-archives/archives-software/341151-cal... In any case, it is not set by default to KMail. -- kai www.filesite.org || www.perfectreign.com Clean out a corner of your mind and creativity will instantly fill it. - Dee Hock -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-factory+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse-factory+help@opensuse.org
