Description

Though I've installed MailtoMutt, the Apple mailer is still started when clicking on a mailto URL in Firefox, instead of MailtoMutt.

have you changed your email settings in mail.app? change your default email application.

this question should go upstream

comment:3 Changed 19 years ago by vincent-opdarw@…

I don't use Mail.app (and don't want to create an account). I just want to use MailtoMutt. I haven't seen anywhere how to change my default email application.

you dont have to create an account. just press cancel. the way to change the default mailer is *in* mail.app preferences. It's under "General".

I don't know how I can be more explicit.

If I press Cancel, then Mail.app quits. So, I can't change the default mail application from it.

After a search on Google, I've found the RCDefaultApp preference pane[*] to set MailtoMutt as the default mail application. But IMHO, MailtoMutt should provide a way to set itself as the default mail application; I really don't think the bug is invalid.

it's invalid because it's not a darwinports issue that the program lacks the documentation you require. thanks for the link for future doco hunters.
