In trying to configure iceweasel to do the same (iceweasel defaults to

Mail", "Always ask", and "Use other", which does not give access to
iceape mail composer.

Hi,
I just try than on Squeeze and it works, but trick is that when you
browse "Use other" choose iceape (/usr/bin/iceape).

That seems to work.

Whilst it opens up an iceape browser window with the URL "mailto...",
which then opens up an iceape mail compser window, it does work, if not
directly.

I had previously tried to find iceape using the paths /bin and /sbin,
but didn't find it there; the required path was, as you have indicated -
/usr/bin/iceape.

Thank you for that.

For finding some app.: 'whereis'

$ whereis iceape
