Package: icedove
Version: 5.0-1
Severity: normal
Hi,
after the upgrade from 3.1.11-1 to 5.0-1, icedove no longer opens http
links in my web browser, but opens a dialog (called "Launch
Application") telling me to choose an application. No application is
registered in this dialog, so I have to pick one via the file chooser.
