Thunderbird: Default app used to open links in email

[labba]

Well... thanks for your answer... as I allready said: The apropriate lines are in my user.js... but it doesnt work out of Thunderbird...
Any help would be apreciated ???

I changed the line in the script openlink.sh to
the following and it works for me.
(Have debian (knoppix) and Firefox 0.9 and Thunderbird 0.8)

#!/bin/sh

export MOZILLA_FIVE_HOME="/usr/lib/mozilla-firefox"

url="$1"
if [ "x$url" = "x" ]; then
url="about:blank"
fi


# exec $MOZILLA_FIVE_HOME/firefox-bin "$url"
/usr/bin/firefox "$url"

[labba]

ok, thanks... works now... now I would be interested, how you managed the mailto: stuff in Firefox... doesn't work either

[drfish]

change the code in mailto.sh to:

#!/bin/sh

url="$1"

export MOZILLA_FIVE_HOME=/usr/bin

$MOZILLA_FIVE_HOME/mozilla-thunderbird -P default -compose $url

the mozilla-thunderbird script takes care of everything

sorry... doesn't work :'(

EDIT: Found a solution: I experimented a bit and now it works with this skript:

#!/bin/sh

#script author: asterix
#http://forums.mozillazine.org/viewto...=136157#136157

export MOZILLA_FIVE_HOME=/usr/lib/MozillaThunderbird

if [ $(ps aux | grep thunderbird | wc -l) -gt 2 ]; then
# thunderbird is running (thunderbird est lance)
    thunderbird -remote "mailto($1?subject=$2)"


else
 #Thunderbird is not running (thunderbird n'est pas lance)
     $MOZILLA_FIVE_HOME/thunderbird -P default -compose mailto:$1?subject=$2;fi

Thanks everybody for your help!
