Is there a setting to control which web browser Evolution will use for web links in HTML email messages? I'd like Evolution to use Epiphany instead of Mozilla.
Well, my default answer already has been mentioned in this thread --
anyway, here it goes. If you do not have the Gnome Control Center
installed (as you are using KDE) there are instructions at the bottom
how to set this using gconftool.
Adjust the Command to call Epiphany or adjust the script, if it supports
similar options to use tabs.

So here we go again with the most-wanted answer... ;-)
Setting default browser (Evolution 1.4 / Gnome 2.x)
---------------------------------------------------
Open the "Gnome Control Center" > Preferred Applications > Web Browser
or simply run:
$ gnome-default-applications-properties
check 'Custom Web Browser'
Command: gnome-moz-remote --newwin "%s"
This will present you every link (clicked in a Gnome 2 app) in a new
mozilla window. If you prefer tabs (instead of new windows) like me,
change it similar like that:
Command: mozilla-remote.sh "%s"
Have the attached script in your path (or change the command to have the
whole path) and make the script executable.
If you want to use another browser rather than Mozilla, you have to
adjust the command (or the script for most of them, to enable tabs).
Setting default browser using *gconftool*
-----------------------------------------
You will need GConf (and the gconf daemon running) to set this. If you
do *not* have the Gnome Control Center installed, there is a way to set
this using GConf directly:
See, which values are stored in that sub-tree. Save the output to a
file, so you can revert to those settings!
$ gconftool-2 -R /desktop/gnome/url-handlers/unknown
command = mozilla %s
need-terminal = false
enabled = true
Now, this should enter all those values (at least, they work for me):
$ gconftool-2 --set --type=string /desktop/gnome/url-handlers/unknown/command 'mozilla %s'
$ gconftool-2 --set --type=bool /desktop/gnome/url-handlers/unknown/need-terminal false
$ gconftool-2 --set --type=bool /desktop/gnome/url-handlers/unknown/enabled true

(c=*++x); c&128 && (s+=h); if (!(h>>=1)||!t[s+h]){ putchar(t[s]);h=m;s=0; }}}
