No, it is not that simple. I thought that OOo 2.1.0 would have
corrected that problem, but it did not. I recently installed 2.1.0
over 2.0.4 and could no longer use Seamonkey as OOo's email client.
That is when I looked this thread up and made the change again.
The scripts in senddoc are for individual types of email clients.
Because of their similarities, Mozilla, Netscape, Seamonkey, and
Thurnderbird all use the same script. So, it was just a matter of
placing Seamonky's name in the list of clients using this script.
Also in senddoc are scripts for evolution, dtmail, kmail,
sylpheed, and another one listed as Mail | Thunderbird | *.app. I
have no idea what this last script is for. But I do understand this
point. Unless an email client is listed in senddoc and has the
required script there also, it can not be used to send email from
OOo.
(DISCLAIMER: The above statements apply to the Linux version of OOo.
They may not apply to sending email for the Window's or Solaras
versions.)
