Mailto: links don't work

[Emmanuel Pacaud]

Clicking on a mailto: link doesn't work. Not sure if this is an epiphany or
evolution bug.

Here's the console output:

manu@hobbes:~$ epiphany
plugin_get_value 1
plugin_get_value 2
es menu class init

(evolution:28691): evolution-shell-WARNING **: Invalid URI: mailto:<email address hidden>

Strange, it works for me.

What is your version of Ubuntu : Breezy or Hoary or Hoary with backparts ?

Can you apt-cache policy epiphany and evolution ?

Does it works with Firefox ?

[Emmanuel Pacaud (emmanuel-pacaud)]

Salut Ploum.

Here are some more infos:

epiphany-browser:
  Installé : 1.7.4-0ubuntu2
  Candidat : 1.7.4-0ubuntu2
 Table de version :
 *** 1.7.4-0ubuntu2 0
        500 http://archive.ubuntu.com breezy/main Packages
        100 /var/lib/dpkg/status
evolution:
  Installé : 2.3.7-0ubuntu2
  Candidat : 2.3.7-0ubuntu2
 Table de version :
 *** 2.3.7-0ubuntu2 0
        500 http://archive.ubuntu.com breezy/main Packages

It's an ubuntu hoary upgraded to breezy a few weeks ago.

With firefox:

manu@hobbes:~$ firefox
*** loading the extensions datasource
*** loading the extensions datasource
es menu class init

(evolution:5959): evolution-shell-WARNING **: Invalid URI:
mailto://<email address hidden>

So no, it doesn't work with firefox.

I've changed bug package to evolution.

what does "gconftool-2 -g /desktop/gnome/url-handlers/mailto/command" say?

[Emmanuel Pacaud (emmanuel-pacaud)]

Salut Sébastien,

Here's the output:

manu@hobbes:~$ gconftool-2 -g /desktop/gnome/url-handlers/mailto/command
evolution %s

[Sebastien Bacher (seb128)]

do "evolution mailto:<email address hidden>" and "gnome-open mailto:<email address hidden>" do its
job? That works fine for me

[Emmanuel Pacaud (emmanuel-pacaud)]

No, it desn't work.

[Sebastien Bacher (seb128)]

which one? and what does it say?

[Emmanuel Pacaud (emmanuel-pacaud)]

Sorry.

Here's the output:

manu@hobbes:~$ evolution mailto:<email address hidden>
es menu class init

(evolution:1492): evolution-shell-WARNING **: Invalid URI: mailto:<email address hidden>
manu@hobbes:~$ gnome-open mailto:<email address hidden>
manu@hobbes:~$ es menu class init

(evolution:2262): evolution-shell-WARNING **: Invalid URI: mailto:<email address hidden>

I've forwarded the issue upstream: http://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=313629

[Emmanuel Pacaud (emmanuel-pacaud)]

Bah. I tried a Microsoft™ solution, which was:

apt-get remove --purge evolution

Then:

apt-get install evolution-plugins

To reinstall evolution + evolution-plugins, and now it works fine.

[Sebastien Bacher (seb128)]

I'm closing the bug since you are the only one to get the issue and it's fixed now.
