Bernie,
I'm about to betray my ignorance of setting default programs here, but I've found that Firefox "naturally" seems to respond to defaults set by Gnome's control center. If you have Gnome on your system, check its advanced settings and see if Evolution is the email program there. If it is, make the change there. Also, Mozilla Firefox has a plug-in called Mozex, if I remember correctly. This plug-in allows you to specify email, ftp, and other clients from within Firefox.
Best,
Pete
Thanks for the suggestions. I'm about to betray an even greater ignorance r.e. Gnome. I do have it installed, though I don't normally use it. The advanced settings, or control-panel2 as suggested by James Ogley sounds like a good place to look. However, I've just spent the last hour trying to get to it and failed. There is a control center entry in the gnome menu, but it doesn't provide any email settings, and I cannot find any way to start an advanced control center or control center 2. Thanks again for the help! Bernie Gardner w1az@arrl.net
