Firefox is set as the default browser for KDE.
In Firefox preferences under "Applications" the mailto is set as
"Use claws-mail."
So I think I have things properly configured -- unless there is a
setting somewhere I've missed.
Note also that in order to send e-mails from a visited Firefox website I
made an addition to about:config
I added <network.protocol-handler.app.mailto> as the name, <user set>
for the status, <string> for the type, and <claws-mail> for the string's
value (no < > characters of course).
This I have found necessary in order to send an e-mail to a link in
Firefox. But could it also be the source of my problem with KMail
popping up when I click on a name in certain e-mails viewed in
Claws-Mail?
Thanks!
Gil
