I hate it when a really stupid problem stumps me.
How do I get Firefox to open a kmail window when I click on a "mailto" link?
It works ok with one of the users on this system but not another and I cannot make it work for that user. It keeps bringing up Evolution, so obviously what I have been trying is wrong.
I think these instructions are as good as any: http://lists.debian.org/debian-powerpc/2005/02/msg00463.html I use a cover script to handle these links. I've attached it (but I recommend reading if if you plan to use it). If you do use it, then its name (for me, "firefox-mailto") is all you need to enter into the "network.protocol-handler.app.mailto" config entry, assuming you put it in a place accessible via your PATH variable. Other than a call to Perl to URL-decode the mailto: URL passed by Firefox, it stands alone.
Thanks in advance, Fred
