+ or <command>gnome-control-center</command>) and start the

+ For GNOME desktops, you can set
+ <application>Evolution</application> to be the default
+ mail client, so that it opens when you click a mailto:
+ link in web pages and help tools. To do that, open the
+ GNOME preferences tool and start the <guilabel>File
+ Associations</guilabel> tool. There, look under
+ <guilabel>Internet Services</guilabel>, select
+ <guilabel>Electronic mail transmission
+ (mailto)</guilabel>, and select

+ For applications such as Mozilla and Netscape, which do

+ application and enter <userinput>evolution
