Re: [Evolution] How do I set evolution to use a particular program when opening e-mail attachments



Thank you, Pete. Here is what I received when I entered the command string you suggested:

johnl john-Vostro-3500:~$ xdg-mime query default application/pdf
pdfstudio9.desktop

However, when I go to open a PDF attachment, I get:
Save As
Open With Other Application...

When I click on Open With Other Application, I get
everything installed including ClamTK and MS Windows
applications installed under CrossOver, but
pdfstudio9.desktop.

I suspect that this is a Ubuntu problem and I am going to post on Ubuntu forums.

John

Before I switched to Ubuntu 15.04 to use evolution 3.16.0, evolution knew to use PDF Studio Pro to open PDF documents. Files (Nautilus) is using the correct program. What do I need to do to set it to use PDF Studio Pro to open PDF attachments?
AFAIK Evo use the XDG standards to open files - what does xdg-mime query default application/pdf say?
