If you're like me, you like Mozilla (as a browser) and Evolution (as a mail client) but you dislike the fact that they are "disconnected", i.e. if you click on a mailto: link in Mozilla it doesn't launch Evolution, here's a solution. 1. Upgrade to Mozilla-1.4 Get the mozilla-1.4 source RPM from a Rawhide mirror. Or just use http://rawhide.redhat.com/ Rebuild it (rpmbuild --rebuild mozilla....). This can be a very lenghty process, just have patience and let it run. Install the resulting binaries. 1b. Optionally upgrade to Evolution-1.4 Packages are here: http://people.redhat.com/~katzj/evolution/ 2. Install the Mozex extension in Mozilla Go to http://mozex.mozdev.org/ and install the extension. Read the instructions! (you must run Mozilla as root when installing; then run it again once as root after installing Mozex then close it immediately; after that Mozex is fully installed and you can run Mozilla as your normal user as before) 3. Configure Mozex to use Evolution for e-mail Go to the Mozilla configuration (Edit / Preferences), search for the new Mozex entry in the list, select the "Intercept mailto: links" checkbox. Then add this string to the "Mailer command" entry: /usr/bin/evolution mailto:%a?subject=%s No need to add double quotes around %s, Mozex is smart. ;-) That's it. Mozex doesn't seem to run with Mozilla-1.2.1 (the Red Hat 9 default) and i didn't test this method with Evolution-1.2 (the Red Hat 9 default). -- Florin Andrei "Never send a human to do a machine's job." - Agent Smith
