I just installed 9.2 and discovered that Evolution is my default e-mail program. Where do I look to find out how to make Kmail the default?
Thank you

Dennis, It seems that Gnome has indeed made Evolution it's default email program. I use Thunderbird, as an alternative mailer sometimes, and it responds with Firefox, so I always assumed Firefox returned the favor. Until tonight that is! Before reading your email, I clicked on a link in Firefox, first time I had used that really. What opened up? Right, evolution! I think you'll have to go into the Gnome Control Center to change this behavior. I had to use that to change the default browser from Mozilla to firefox earlier, so it stands to reason we'll have to do the email the same way. From a shell as user, "gnome-control-center" will get you there and I believe you'll find what you need under System settings. From the menu button in KDE see: Utilities>Desktop>GNOME Control Center. Be aware, that if you use this while in KDE, Gnome may temporarily take over. You fonts, screensaver, etc will be hijacked, but a restart of KDE should cure the problem. Of course, you can back out of KDE and login to Gnome to do the changes, then back to KDE. regards, Lee -- --- KMail v1.7.1 --- SuSE Linux Pro v9.2 --- Registered Linux User #225206 "Don't let the fear of striking out keep you from playing the game!"
