Comment 6 for bug 429569

No offense, but marking this as won't fix doesn't address the larger usability issue. The issue that your users expect an application to work a certain way because of the way you presented the interface to them, and it doesn't work that way.

There is no point in choosing a Preferred Application, if things like indicator-applet don't respect that decision. If I click on indicator-applet and select 'compose new message' it should ABSOLUTELY launch my default mail client that I chose in the gnome-preferred-applications-properties window. The indicator-applet is application agnostic. If not, don't you think the package should be renamed evolution-indicator-applet?
