Hi everyones !

I'm playing with \LaTeX and PDF files. I am generating some
documents with URI of this kind "mailto:john at doe.net", but when
clicking on those hyperlinks from Evince, I get the error
message:

""" Unable to open external link:
Failed to execute child process "evolution" (No such file or
directory)
"""

Oki, so I did not install evolution on my XFCE spin, and I assume
my MIME database is correctly set since typing `xdg-email
mailto:john at doe.net` opens claws-mail (/my/ currently preferred
MUA).


Anyone has an idea on how to let evince know that I'd rather use
claws-mail thant evolution ?

regards,
/John
