$ xdb-mime query default video/mp4 mplayer.desktop But evolution still doesn't offer mplayer for mp4 attachments. Maybe the problem is that I'm using evolution 2.32.3. I'm not allowed to have the root password for my computer without taking about six months' of cyber-security training, so I can't update it. I've tried installing applications in my own account, but usually run afoul of version conflicts that require essentially installing all of /lib and /usr/lib and /usr/local/lib in my own account. Then the SA gets angry at me for using up too much file space in the server. _______________________________________________ evolution-list mailing list evolution-list@gnome.org To change your list options or unsubscribe, visit ... https://mail.gnome.org/mailman/listinfo/evolution-list
