[Bug 269207] Re: Gmail isn't available in GNOME's Preferred Applications dialogue

[Siegfried Gevatter]

To do this we have two options:

a) Add support for it directly into gnome-control-center.

b) Install an .xml file into /usr/share/gnome-control-center/default-
apps/ with the following content:

======================
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<!DOCTYPE default-apps SYSTEM "gnome-da-list.dtd">
<default-apps>
  <mail-readers>
    <mail-reader>
      <name>Google Mail (Prism)</name>
      <executable>prism-google-mail</executable>
      <command>prism-google-mail %s</command>
      <icon-name>prism-google-mail</icon-name>
      <run-in-terminal>false</run-in-terminal>
    </mail-reader>
  </mail-readers>
</default-apps>
======================

However, there is a problem. "prism-google-mail <email address>" doesn't
work, so this won't work.

If someone knows how to launch a GMail compose window within Prism
please tell me!

** Description changed:

  Binary package hint: prism-google-gmail
  
  GMail using Prism should be displayed as an option in GNOME's Preferred
  Applicacions dialogue.
- 
- (And, personally I -RainCT- think there should also be an option to use
- GMail in the preferred web browser by default, but this is not something
- to be done in this package).
  
  
  ==============================
  
  [Original description]
  
  When you install gmail prisim it should become your default email client
  
  gconftool-2 --set /desktop/gnome/url-handlers/mailto/command
  --type="string" "firefox
  https://mail.google.com/mail/?extsrc=mailto&url=%s"
