as i said in the initial message, they changed the meaning of a "default mail client" to suit the contact/presence menu, if desktop-webmail is going to return it probably needs to be able to compose directly and start a client with a message, as that's all the other mailers require to show up on that menu, as of the last time i used it it just handled mailto: which was an implicit compose
** Description changed: Binary package hint: desktop-webmail as in title, i filed a bug earlier about it not working with indicator- message before; it seems their solution was to change the wording in the "preferred applications" applet, so compose only mailers do not literally fit into either role. i use web mail exclusively and would like to use it in its proper role in the indicator-message menu and as a desktop mime handler for email: + + but i'm referring to above: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source + /indicator-messages/+bug/429569 ProblemType: Bug DistroRelease: Ubuntu 11.04 Package: desktop-webmail 002-0ubuntu2 ProcVersionSignature: Ubuntu 2.6.38-8.41-generic 2.6.38.2 Uname: Linux 2.6.38-8-generic x86_64 Architecture: amd64 Date: Thu Apr 7 23:09:13 2011 InstallationMedia: Ubuntu 10.10 "Maverick Meerkat" - Release amd64 (20101007) ProcEnviron: - LANGUAGE=en_US:en - LANG=en_US.UTF-8 - SHELL=/bin/bash + LANGUAGE=en_US:en + LANG=en_US.UTF-8 + SHELL=/bin/bash SourcePackage: desktop-webmail UpgradeStatus: Upgraded to natty on 2011-03-17 (21 days ago) -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/754321 Title: can no longer be selected as default mail application -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
