Re: [Evolution] Clicking on https: links doesn't work

[Aaron Weber <aaron ximian com>]

I had a similar problem at one point: 
https:// links opened in Mozilla and http:// links in Galeon. 

It turned out that GNOME was treating "https" as "unknown" in the Internet services-- 
Open the control center, open the file-associations tool, go to the last category, (Web Services or whatever it is) and look in the "Unknown service types" one to see if there's anything there.

Hope this helps...
