I don't know whether this is a general problem, but when I upgraded FF
from 2 to 3, the mailto links no longer called ExmhComp, even though the
prefs continued to show ExmhComp.
Somehow, it fixed for me by doing the following.
Set FF prefs for mailto back to "always ask". Then hit a mailto link and
from the dropdown menu select "Browse" and go to the same path to
ExmhComp that you used before, and also check the little box that
ensures you will do it this way from now on.
This worked for me. Dunno why. The old link to ExmhComp also shows up
and continues to not work, even though it should have been to the same
application.
BTW, ExmhComp is the following (I forget who wrote it):
>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>
#!/usr/bin/wish
wm withdraw .
set exmh_path /usr/local/bin
set exmh_bin exmh
# if exmh isn't running , start it up and wait till it's there before continuing
if {[lsearch [winfo interps] $exmh_bin ]==-1} {
exec $exmh_path/$exmh_bin -iconic 2>1 > /dev/null &
while {[lsearch [winfo interps] $exmh_bin ]==-1} {
after 200
}
}
if { 0 == [string length $argv] } {
send exmh Msg_Compose
exit 0
} else {
send exmh Msg_CompTo $argv
exit 0
}
