Description Sebastian Vahl 2007-05-07 14:03:15 UTC
Description of problem:
launchmail only checks if evolution exists. Is this is not the case an error 
would 
be shown: "ERROR: The mail client evolution does not exist.  Please 
reconfigure."
If /usr/bin/gnome-default-applications-properties doesn't exist that would be 
all.

On KDE LiveCD we don't have gnome-default-applications-properties. So after a 
installation to hard disk the user would not know how to reconfigure this. The 
best way here would be to fallback to kmail in a KDE session.

Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):


How reproducible:


Steps to Reproduce:
1. Install KDE LiveCD or remove evolution and 
gnome-default-applications-properties
2. Login into KDE
3. Launch launchmail
  
Actual results: Error Message


Expected results: kmail would be startet


Additional info: I've misread #230023. So I've opened a single bug for this. 
#239293 is the same issue.

Please see if this makes it behave as expected in the LiveCD.

Working fine here.

Comment 3 Warren Togami 2007-05-09 17:15:47 UTC
htmlview-4.0.0-2.fc7 is in F7 now.  It falls back in the KDE-only case to a list
of "if it exists use it".  konqueror and kmail are at the top of that list.
