Please lose the "Reply to" in your email client; when it is set, replies go only to you and not to the list. Evolution is a Gnome application: you have to change a Gnome setting to alter its behavior, even if you're running it under KDE. Quoting the very estimable Gunther from the Evolution list: So here we go again with the most-wanted answer... ;-) Setting default browser (Evolution 1.4 / Gnome 2.x) --------------------------------------------------- Open the "Gnome Control Center" > Preferred Applications > Web Browser or simply run: $ gnome-default-applications-properties check 'Custom Web Browser' Command: gnome-moz-remote --newwin "%s" This will present you every link (clicked in a Gnome 2 app) in a new mozilla window. If you prefer tabs (instead of new windows) like me, change it similar like that: Command: mozilla-remote.sh "%s" Have the following script in your path (or change the command to have the whole path) and make the script executable. #!/bin/bash mozilla -remote 'openURL('$1', new-tab)' || mozilla $1 & If you want to use another browser rather than Mozilla, you have to adjust the command (or the script for most of them, to enable tabs). Setting default browser using *gconftool* ----------------------------------------- You will need GConf (and the gconf daemon running) to set this. If you do *not* have the Gnome Control Center installed, there is a way to set this using GConf directly: See, which values are stored in that sub-tree. Save the output to a file, so you can revert to those settings! $ gconftool-2 -R /desktop/gnome/url-handlers/unknown command = mozilla %s need-terminal = false enabled = true Now, this should enter all those values (at least, they work for me): $ gconftool-2 --set --type=string /desktop/gnome/url-handlers/unknown/command 'mozilla %s' $ gconftool-2 --set --type=bool /desktop/gnome/url-handlers/unknown/need-terminal false $ gconftool-2 --set --type=bool /desktop/gnome/url-handlers/unknown/enabled true HTH -- N.
