Evolution or to groupware in

<term>Default Browsers</term>
<listitem>
<para>
To set the browser that opens when you click a link in
an email, open the GNOME preferences tool
(<menuchoice><guimenu>System</guimenu><guimenuitem>Personal Settings</guimenuitem></menuchoice>
or <command>gnome-control-center</command>) and start the
<guilabel>File Associations</guilabel> tool. There, look under
<guilabel>Internet Services</guilabel>, select
<guilabel>World wide web (http)</guilabel>, and select
the browser of your choice. If you wish to use a
browser other than the ones suggested, you will need to
enter the full shell command. For example you might use
<userinput>mybrowser "%s"</userinput> to start the
mybrowser program at the right page.

<varlistentry>
<term>Making Evolution Your Default Mail Client</term>
<listitem>
<para>
For GNOME desktops, you can set
Evolution 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
<guilabel>Evolution</guilabel> from the drop-down
list.
</para>
<para>
For applications such as Mozilla and Netscape, which do
not use the GNOME preference tools, you will need to
find the protocol handler preference tool for that
application and enter <userinput>evolution
"%s"</userinput> as your choice for handling mailto links.
