I'm having the same problem. I actually only began to explore this option when I read Victoria's original post. according to evolution's man page: =========================================== To send mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED] evolution mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] To use Evolution as the handler for mailto: links in GNOME applications, set the GNOME URL handler in the GNOME Con trol Center to be: evolution "%s" (The similar approach works for Mozilla and other applica tions.) ============================================ putting evolution "%s" in the GNOME control centre's URL handler section doesn't seem to have an effect on Galeon. Mailto links simply don't work. putting evolution "%s" in Galeon's Mail Handler field under Settings -> Preferences -> Programs also doesn't seem to work. I can replicate the original program but putting evolution mailto:"%s" in the field and then evolution pops up with no address in the To: field. Furthermore, if the mailto link contains something like: mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]?subject=This is a test ...then the subject of the email appears in the To: field. Any further ideas on how to get this working?
