[Evolution] Resetting mailto: to Evo

2012-02-29 Thread Dianne Reuby
I use Gmail online purely for my genealogy, everything else I use Evo. I
recently misunderstood the instructions for Gmail settings, and told it
to use Gmail for mailto: (I thought this was for Gmail only, as that was
the settings I was altering). 

I've reset the prefs in Chrome to mailto: = none, removed the handler
completely, but nothing seems to to reset it to use Evo - when I click a
mail address, it loads Chrome.

I'm using Evo 2.30.3 on Ubuntu 10.10.

TIA for any advice.
Dianne

This has since changed in later GNOME releases, but I think on your
system the mailto: handler is still stored in GConf as:

   /desktop/gnome/url-handlers/mailto/command

Try changing the command value to evolution %s.  This is easiest to
do through gconf-editor (or in the panel menu under Applications -
System Tools - Configuration Editor).  You might need to install the
gconf-editor package if it's not listed in the menu.

If that doesn't work, I think the new location is:

   $HOME/.local/share/applications/mimeinfo.cache

Just edit that file in a text editor.

Brilliant - that worked. Thanks!
