You only need to set the proper mime type association - "rfc822" A reason why I mentioned the Xfce because it has a very convenient MIME type editor - xfce4-mime-settings(xfce4-settings)[1], which can be used for someone who is not proficient in direct editing MIME type file/s. RFC # 822[2] ~/.local/share/applications/mimeapps.list message/rfc822=mozilla-thunderbird.desktop /usr/share/applications/mozilla-thunderbird.desktop Exec=thunderbird %u TryExec=thunderbird > But this is not a subject for the Fedora mailing list, I think we should get > off it if you would like to pursue this further.

Let the people learn. :) And thanks for useful application. poma [1] http://docs.xfce.org/xfce/xfce4-settings/mime [2] http://tools.ietf.org/html/rfc822 -- users mailing list users@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx To unsubscribe or change subscription options: https://admin.fedoraproject.org/mailman/listinfo/users Guidelines: http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Mailing_list_guidelines Have a question?
