Hi Jack. I'm using KDE, and this is with FC2. I normally just use Konqueror, 
and Kmail, but a while ago messed about with Firefox, and which E-mail client 
it was using. By default it uses Evolution, presumably because Gnome is the 
default desktop. Go to Main menu  > Preferences > Preferred Applications. 
there are 4 tabs in this. the mail reader one allows you to select Kmail for 
instance.

This appears to be working ok. Firefox > Tools > Read mail, opens up Kmail, 
and going to a website and finding an E-mail link opens up Kmails composer 
ok.

This is the same as Daniel mentioned, but he was working from Gnome.

All the best.

Nigel.
