Firefox mailto: links not working correctly
I have a pretty standard Firefox 3.6.24 running in xubuntu. I have mutt set as my default E-Mail application in Preferred Applications and in Firefox's preferences. However it's not working properly, when I click on a mailto: link an empty E-Mail gets sent. It looks to me as if this is something to do with mutt needing a terminal window to run in but all the menus seem to know about mutt already as if they should know this. Can anyone suggest what might be wrong? -- Chris Green

Not useless for me. On my system providing /usr/bin/mutt as the default mail client for mailto doesn't appear to do anything. No entries in /var/log/mail, no reject msgs, but the script works fine. -- (paka)Patrick Shanahan Plainfield, Indiana, USA HOG # US1244711 http://wahoo.no-ip.orgPhoto Album: http://wahoo.no-ip.org/gallery2 http://en.opensuse.org openSUSE Community Member Registered Linux User #207535@ http://linuxcounter.net
