nautilus sendto + thunderbird + jaunty jackalope

[oliv66]

Hello,

I just migrated from Ubuntu 8.10 to Ubuntu 9.04 from scratch with no problem.

Under nautilus, I can use sendto function (right click) but not use the thunderbird client. Only Evolution is displayed. I removed evloution and chose Thunderbird in the Preferred applications Menu.

I used sudo gconf-editor to change the value under /desktop/gnome/urlhandlers/mailto/usr/bin/thunderbird %s

It doesn't work...

Any suggestion ?

Thanks in advance

Olivier

Devi inserire /desktop/gnome/urlhandlers/mailto/usr/bin/mozilla-thunderbird %s
Impostandolo così a me funziona con la 9.04
Non so però come cambiare la voce di menù "Invia a Email (Evolution)"

I have/had the same problem - the Send To shows Email (Evolution) even though Thunderbird is my Gnome default email client.

It did not occur to me to try to send the email anyway until I found the following bug report:
https://bugs.edge.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/nautilus-sendto/+bug/366410

It appears that the name 'Evolution' has been hardcoded or something into the GUI. Just ignore it and send the file.

Your default email program will be opened to compose the message - Thunderbird in my case.

This bug will be fixed in the next Ubuntu release.

thanks for your reply.

I use nautilus-actions to bypass the problem.

It is a pity to have hard coded Evolution...
