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. ...guenther 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 -- char *t="\10pse\0r\0dtu\0 ghno\x4e\xc8\x79\xf4\xab\x51\x8a\x10\xf4\xf4\xc4"; main(){ char h,m=h=*t++,*x=t+2*h,c,i,l=*x,s=0; for (i=0;i<l;i++){ i%8? c<<=1: (c=*++x); c&128 && (s+=h); if (!(h>>=1)||!t[s+h]){ putchar(t[s]);h=m;s=0; }}}
