by looking at what get's called by acrobat reader? by asking the adobe
crowd how you are supposed to catch the call for a default mail client?
magic?

sorry, i think you don't read what i'm writing. i don't want adobe to
add claws mail to the list of the supported clients, but debian to
forward to claws mail -- if i wish to use claws mail as a default
mail client -- the requests which go to the default mail client.

in this case you're the developer and i'm the user. please don't blame
on other people's product before even testing the issue.

acrobat reader, even if it is a evil proprietary application, is used
but many people and is
- the only (usable) pdf reader one can install without installing either
  (lib)kde or (lib)gnome
- the only pdf reader which is usable for files which are meant to be
  sent to a printshop
- the only pdf reader which supports all the features which can be put
  by free software into pdfs

and adobe is offering a generally well behaving package for
debian: acrobat reader is not just a random app run through wine!


my conclusion: you  may not be the right person to fix that bug but
-- as a debian developer -- you may be in a better situation than me to
find out, who can test this issue.
or you may simply wait and let somebody else take over.


this may not be a claws mail issue, but a debian mail problem... but we
will never, since everybody is just blaming someone else here.
(i was asked to choose a package by the bug report system and the only
one which seemed to match was claws mail... you may reassign this bug
to anotheer -- better matching -- package).

alessandro
