Description Per Olofsson 2006-09-06 13:53:56 UTC

It would be nice if there was generic support in xdg-email (when there's no kde,
gnome or xfce). In Debian, I implemented this by calling the default browser
(basically $BROWSER and some Debian-specific stuff).

I'm not sure this is the right thing to do but to me it appears to be a
reasonable fallback.

Would it be possible to submit a patch for this as well?

We have another bug report suggesting support for $MAILER, does Debian have 
any experience with this?

Well, sure. I just copied the generic stuff from xdg-open.

I have no experience with $MAILER but AFAIK it doesn't have a standardised
syntax, so I think it would be difficult to use.
