Description John Martin 2006-11-09 08:28:15 UTC 
Currently firefox associates mailto links with Evolution instead of Kmail when using KDE. This can be changed with the network.protocol-handler.app.mailto config option being set to kmail. Would it be possible to make this a default for KDE installs?
Comment 1 Wolfgang Rosenauer 2006-11-09 09:39:04 UTC 
I wouldn't recommend to do so.
Firefox gets its association through gconf and gnome-vfs.
As those are gnome centric the favourite application for mailto is Evolution. It probably possible to fix it manually by using gconf-editor.

For a generic approach Gnome and KDE people have to sort out how to solve it IMHO.
Comment 2 Justin Haygood 2007-02-14 19:39:31 UTC 
Doesn't OpenSUSE 10.2 ship with xdg-email, et. al? Wouldn't that do the trick? IMO, applications should honor the default applications in the current desktop environment for things regardless of the native desktop environment for the program.
Comment 3 Wolfgang Rosenauer 2007-09-26 07:52:43 UTC 
xdg-email is available. It's a task for gnome-maintainers to decide to use xdg-mail instead of evolution as default mailto-handler in gconf.
