Hi All,
I recently installed Firefox 1.5 on a FreeBSD 6.1 system.
Mostly it seems to work fine with some apparent finickyness
about odd character sets. Since it does not include Email, I
also installed Thunderbird which works as its own standalone.
But, when I am looking at a web page that has a 'mailto:' in a
tag and I click on the link to send a message to whoever, nothing
happens - presumably because there is no mail handler in Firefox.
So, how, in FreeBSD 6.xxx do I deal with this? Can I make it
call up something like a plugin or whatever to handle that mailto:
Email item. I haven't found anything that looks like a
configuration item for such as that.
Thanks for any help you can give,
////jerry
use about:config in Firefox and set network.protocol-handler.app.mailto
to /usr/X11R6/bin/thunderbird
There are similar settings to get thunderbird to open http links in firefox.
HTH,
Micah
