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.

Unfortunately, after doing that, and opening iceweasel browser windows,
saving bookmark sets ("Bookmark all tabs" in window), then closing windows,
when I got down to three open windows, iceweasel froze, and then I did a Lock
Screen, but I could not restore the login session, and now the computer will
not boot into Debian - it seems that the change to iceweasel, broke the
Debian installation.
I get hard drive errors, then a final error something like "No processes
running", and the system hangs.
I do not know how to access the error messages log file, from outside the
operating system; from Ubuntu,
"ls: cannot access /dev/sda5/var: Not a directory"
I have booted into Ubuntu, and ran fsck on the partition, and it shows as
clean, reagrdless opf the inode errors and processes loading too fast, that
show in the last screen of the boot messages that are displayed on the
screen.
But, the installation of Debian now seems to be destroyed.
In looking at a posting on the Debian laptop list, it could be that it
is that Xwindows is the cause of the destruction, rather than iceweasel.
