However, as previously mentioned (in a posting by me, in this thread), in viewing the Properties window, the Properties window lists the following information: Type - Application Name - Iceape Mail Composer Command - iceape -compose Comment - Iceape Mail Composer but not the path to the application. Perhaps, if the Properties window included the path for the command, e.g., Command - usr/bin/iceape -compose which would be quite useful if it was possible to directly launch the mail composer from another application, such as I had been seeking, or, even, it would show the path for iceape itself, which could have been used as it is now configured. In inputting the option Command - usr/bin/iceape -compose and trying it, I note that it still launched the iceape web browser window, with the mailto command as the URL, in addition to the iceape mail composer window opening to create a new email message. Anyway, thank you again for your help - it means that I can now launch the iceape mail composer application, by clicking on a mailto link in an iceweasel web browser window, which was what I was seeking. -- Bret Busby Armadale West Australia ..

Why doesn't iceweasel work with iceape
I am running Debian 5. I have iceweasel installed, and I have iceape installed. I use iceape because it allows me, on clicking on a mailto link, to open an iceape mail composer window. In trying to configure iceweasel to do the same (iceweasel defaults to opening evolution, which I understand to be much the same as microsoft outlook), I open the iceweasel Edit - Preferences - Applications - mailto option, and it displays the options Use Gmail, Use Yahoo! Mail, Always ask, and Use other, which does not give access to iceape mail composer. But, it does not display an option for Use Iceape Mail Composer, and, with iceape mail composer, in viewing the properties, and thus the launch command, the iceweaselpreferences options, do not allow for entering the command to run iceape mail composer; iceape -compose. So, iceweasel recognises proprietary email applications (gmail and yahoo mail), but, does not recognise the realted email application; iceape mail composer, and, apparently, prohibits the use of iceape mail composer, to acion mailto links.
