Icedove always loads Epiphany when URL is clicked
in [Debian]

From: Merciadri Luca on 15 Apr 2010 09:20 Hi, I am using Icedove for some e-mails. If I click on a link in a message, _most often_ Epiphany loads the page. Sometimes, Iceweasel loads the page at the place of Epiphany. My default browser is set as `Iceweasel' and Icedove should consequently always load Iceweasel, shouldn't it? Why does it happen this way? Thanks. -- Merciadri Luca See http://www.student.montefiore.ulg.ac.be/~merciadri/ I use PGP.

And that is what I wanted to mention in my OP: `Iceweasel' is set as `Web Browser' and `Icedove' is set as `Mail Reader.' -- Merciadri Luca See http://www.student.montefiore.ulg.ac.be/~merciadri/ I use PGP.
