a cell in Calc?
I had a similar problem trying to use kmail, and it seemed as if evolution
had made itself the default mail program when I installed it, even though
I'm running kde.
Try running
gnome-default-applications-properties
in a console, and set the mail reader to thunderbird.
Also, if you are running kde, try setting thunderbird as the default mail
application in Control Centre - KDE components - component chooser.
Thank you for your help. It worked. But why is the feature in OOo for
selecting the e-mail application so ineffective? I have a bug report in
(#61486) in the hope that the obvious problem will be fixed. I forgot
to add that I am using XFCE4, which seems to prefer Gnome-set-up
application references.
Interestingly enough, when I changed the gnome defaults while logged on
as su, it had no effect. It only worked when I changed the gnome
defaults while in user's desktop mode.
