Using another mail program with mozilla?
I'm sure its now possible to get mozilla to call an external mail program, so that you can use mozilla + kmail seamlessly, clicking on links etc. how can you do this? (or can you?) I've spent ages on google groups without much luck, so perhaps by chance someone here will know?

Yes. Found it here.

If, like me, you wish to be able to use the newsreader (in which case the mail program gets installed too), just add this line to user.js:

user_pref("network.protocol-handler.external.mailto", true);

You will need to exit then restart Mozilla (if you have QuickLaunch enabled, I think you have to exit from that too.)


Can't help you much beyond there. I know it CAN be done, I just don't really know the specifics. HTH.

The other option is to not install the mail client. . .
