Re: [Evolution] command line or "mailto:" support

["John Weber" <jweber math cudenver edu>]

Hi,

Either I've never gotten this to work or I don't understand how it's
supposed to work. My understanding is that if this is working and I
click on a link of the form "Mailto:somebody somwhere" in mozilla, I
should get an evolution compose window with the To: already filled out
with somebody somewhere and not get the mozilla mail compose window,
correct? 

I always get the mozilla window and I've tried the suggestions from this
thread and a previous one on this list. I'm using RH7.1 with the latest
ximian gnome, gnomecc 1.5.9, almost the latest evo snaps.

Thanks, John
