Re: [Evolution] Bringing up Mozilla from links embedded in email (1.2.3)

[Paul Hands <phands cadence com>]

Guenther,

I agree with you - I shouldn't need my script.  Nevertheless, each time a change (usually, but not only Mozilla) came along, either the browser wouldn't come up unless it was already running, or it would dump me into the user profile manager if it was already running.  The gnomecc setting was always the gnome-moz-remote, but it became painful to find out ehat changed each time.  Hence, my script, exists, and has worked happily through several mozilla and evolution versions.

I never got errors (so far!), which is why error checking isn't in there.

Regards,

Paul
