Yeah, I have a tendency to do that.  I was gone Friday-Monday so I was
digging myself out from under a mountain of mail most of yesterday. :)

 does yield the same error, I suppose I can bring that up with the evo
 people.  

Please do.  They understand the intricacies of their URI handling better
than I.

 My webpages started opening on AbiWord today (Abi might have been
 reinstalled recently, I'm doing an emerge -e world for a gcc upgrade), so
 if this stuff isn't in gnome-url-handler, where is it?  I'd be great to
 change back to firefox.

From the Beagle standpoint of things, in most cases we use the GNOME URL
APIs to open documents(*), which goes through the URL handlers and MIME
type associations to determine how to open a file.  It's basically the
same as calling gnome-open url.

Sometimes there are special cases, however.  The email URI scheme is
internal and special to evolution and no default GNOME desktop (that I'm
aware of) has handlers for it.  beagle-search calls evolution uri
directly.

(*) Actually we prefer the desktop-launch program if it's available for
cross-platform (GNOME apps in GNOME, KDE apps in KDE) compatibility, but
I believe only SUSE ships such a program.

 If it doesn't go through gnome-url-handler, is it decided when indexing?

It's done at open-time.

 Why would the webpages switch to AbiWord then?

My only guess is that AbiWord has set itself as the default handler for
HTTP URIs, or possibly for HTML files.

Yeah.  The spam is so overwhelming in the queue that it's impossible to
segment out signal from noise, so all moderated mail gets binned.  Sorry
about that.

 I don't think the error is anything that complex: when
 clicking on an email (or email attachment) from the beagle search
 interface I get this error from evolution:
 
   Error while Opening folder
   email://[EMAIL PROTECTED]/INBOX;uid=785.
 
   No provider available for protocol `email'
 
 I thought it might be a gnome url-hander issue, so I added a gnome handler
 for email with /desktop/gnome/url-handlers/email in gconf.

Those URIs are passed directly to evolution, so it doesn't go through
gnome-url-handler at all.

Can you try running evolution uri from the command-line and see if
you get the same error?  If so, this looks like an Evolution bug.  It
very obviously does handle email URIs.
