I spoke to someone who was more knowledgeable about the current state of affairs, and they said that applications can't control the priorities with desktop files the way they could with mailcap. So emacs can only say that it provides mailto support (which it does via notmuch, gnus, rmail, etc.), but it can't set itself at a "lower" priority. However, you can specify your own priorities either via your browser's mechanism (settings > general > applications in firefox), or possibly (it sounds like) via overrides provided by a desktop like gnome (if you use it). i.e. while I haven't used gnome in a while, it sounds like they have a "default applications" option under settings. Hope this helps. -- Rob Browning rlb @defaultvalue.org and @debian.org GPG as of 2011-07-10 E6A9 DA3C C9FD 1FF8 C676 D2C4 C0F0 39E9 ED1B 597A GPG as of 2002-11-03 14DD 432F AE39 534D B592 F9A0 25C8 D377 8C7E 73A4
