Package: icedove
Version: 3.0.4-2
Severity: wishlist
Tags: squeeze
Although the current system of asking which application to use to open http
links on the first attempt works, it's cumbersome. Many users may not know
where the binary for their preferred browser is located. Perhaps a better way
would be to deliver Icedove with this pointing at x-www-browser by default.

Since none of the submitters is able to reproduce this in wheezy I'm
closing the report.
