You lost me with the Main menu. What application?
Click on the Redhat icon on the panel (taskbar), then select
preferences, then preferred applications. The preferred
applications window gives you 4 choices. Webbrowser, Mail Reader,
Text Editor, and Terminal. You can just change the Mail Reader to
Kmail, and Firefox should now use Kmail rather than than Evolution
as default.
This appears to be working ok. Firefox > Tools > Read mail,
opens up Kmail,
I get no response, no errors
Thats weird. You don't get any email client opening?
and going to a website and finding an E-mail link opens
up Kmails composer ok.
nothing here as well
Which FC version are you using?
Not trying to be rude but you did not look real close at the subject
line. FC5
Your instructions above are of no value for FC5
I remember those settings from FC2, the configuration in FC5 is way
different. I am still trying to figure out where things are and what
is not here any more and what is new that works better. Things
changed a lot from FC2 to FC5. I was real comfortable with FC2
because I used it for two years. I made the change from FC2 to FC5
in one leap skipping over using FC3 and FC4. I did an upgrade
install in about 4 hours from FC2, FC3, FC4, FC5, this was the only
way I could get the upgrade install to work.

I'm using Gnome on FC5. I have three selection in the task bar at the
lower left corner with the Fedora logo. They are, "Applications",
"Places" and "System". Select "System" and in the pull up menu select
"Preferences". then "More Preferences" then "Preferred Applications"
The applet that comes up has two tabs, one for "Internet" and one for
"System". You want "Internet". At the bottom is a category called
"Mail Reader" with a selector. Set it to "Custom" and below that enter
the path to Kmail. I use thunderbird and I have it set as follows.
thunderbird -mail %s
I don't know if you will need and option on the command (like -mail) but
%s is the substitution for the string passed to the program representing
the address to use. You'll have to investigate the CLI for Kmail. You
may have to use the full path to Kmail if it is not in your default PATH
variable.
