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";
