Hi all;

I recently installed SUSE 10 and I find that clicking on a mailto link on a web page does nothing. How can I associate the mailto with Kmail?

Are you referring to Konqueror, Firefox or other? For Konqueror: KDE Control Panel/KDE Components/Component Chooser

For Firefox: It has been discussed a number of times before: In the location field type "about:config" and filter on mailto You should have a network.protocol-handler.app.mailto line. If not add it, and set its value to kmail -- Jerry Feldman Boston Linux and Unix user group http://www.blu.org PGP key id:C5061EA9 PGP Key fingerprint:053C 73EC 3AC1 5C44 3E14 9245 FB00 3ED5 C506 1EA9

Konqueror works fine. I have the following entries showing if I key in about:config in Firefox and filter by mailto, yet it still does not work. Any other ideas? preference name status type value ========================== ====== ===== ========== network.protocol-handler.app.mailto user set string /usr/bin/kmail network.protocol-handler.expose.mailto default boolean false network.protocol-handler.external.mailto default boolean true network.protocol-handler.warn-external.mailto default boolean false

kmail is not usually in /usr/bin. By default it is in /opt/kde3/bin/

Also, kmail usually doen't work. It will load an email but won't pick up any subject or other mailto: type thingies. (How's that for technical jargon?) set - network.protocol-handler.app.mailto to - /opt/kde3/bin/kmailservice -- kai www.perfectreign.com linux - genuine windows replacement part

It does if you use a helper script. More than one has been posted here and will still be in the archives.
