Update: on galeon/2.0.7-1, when I follow a mailto: link a dialog window appears. This dialog window is titled "chrome://mozapps/content/handling/dialog.xul" and includes a list with one single item named "Choose an Application" with a "Choose..." button. At the bottom two standard "Cancel" and "OK" buttons. Why should I choose something? I have *already* made my choice at gconf level (which should work for my user in all gconf-aware applications!). I reiterate that Galeon should use gconf settings in order to determine which mail user agent should be invoked when the user follows a mailto: link. -- New location for my website!
