mailto links under google-chrome in XFCE (Fedora 21)
Does anyone know how to setup Google-Chromes handling of mailto links
in webpages ?
I have run the xfce default handlier application, which has
Google-Chrome as my preferred webbrowser and Thunderbird
as my mail reader.
Everytime I click a mailto link either nothing happens, or I get the
message failed to run MailReader (input/output error)...not much
help.
I have checked the mimelist and it has set links up this way:
[Default Applications]
text/html=userapp-google-chrome-AGO0MX.desktop
x-scheme-handler/http=exo-web-browser.desktop
x-scheme-handler/https=exo-web-browser.desktop
x-scheme-handler/about=exo-web-browser.desktop
x-scheme-handler/mailto=exo-mail-reader.desktop
application/x-extension-eml=mozilla-thunderbird.desktop
the xfce4.helpers file contains this:
MailReader=thunderbird
TerminalEmulator=xfce4-terminal
WebBrowser=google-chrome
FileManager=Thunar
There is a link in /usr/bin to thunderbird.
In the mime list the x-scheme-handlers for mailto
is exo-mail-reader.desktop, which runs MailReader
I don't understand any of this---apparently xfce changed
the way these things are handled in the latest release.
Can someone clear away the fog ?
Thanks
