Would anyone know how I can make icedove and iceweasel recognize my
choice of a default browser? Not exactly a serious problem, but it kind
of irks me!

Have you tried by setting in Icedove "about:config" the variables...

- "network.protocol-handler.app.http" pointing to the Chromium binary
path?
- "network.protocol-handler.warn-external.http" to "true"?

Thanks, Camaleón.  You are a mine of useful information. :-)   Just what I
wanted to know, mutatis mutandis.  I don't mind what Iceweasel thinks is the
default browser, but I want clicking on a link in an email in Icedove to open
a window in Konqueror and not in Iceweasel.

I have had a look on his computer, and Iceweasel has indeed got about:config
as it should, and as I would expect.  But I can't find any such thing in
Icedove.  Where should I be looking?

Indeed, somehow I missed Camaleón's response. I'm glad you (Lisi) responded to Camaleón. Most grateful to both of you. I changed the http and https settings in icedove (Config Editor button on the General tab of the Preferences dialog), and clicking a link in an e-mail is finally calling up chromium-browser.

Why on earth would the Mozilla people set the mail client to behave this way?

Regards,
Gilbert
