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
