notes:// protocol no more handled

[Emmanuel DA MOTA]

Binary package hint: evolution

When receiving a memo which contains Lotus notes document links, evolution doesn't open Lotus Notes client anymore.

It was working correctly in Maverick

links are like this : Notes://LOTUS5G/C12575B300284028/C33D8B60A0D9AE47C12575B5004C64D8/D00E16B882A15DC7C125788B002AA132

evolution error message is approximately : Unable to open the link. The specified location is not supported.

UpgradeStatus: Upgraded to natty on 2011-04-29 (9 days ago)

that's being tracked upstream at: https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=207611

i'm not sure that it is related to the upstream bug as the submitter want to open his mail located on the Notes server inside the evolution client that's not what i want and used to do.
The feature that is not working after the upgrade to natty is when i receive a mail in evolution which contains a notes link, clicking to the link should open the Notes native client and the document pointed out by the link.

i found a workaround for this, you can check https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/xdg-utils/+bug/788673
