(Sent a post through gmane that never (hasn't) arrived, so, once again et mille excuses pour l'éventuel doublon): curty@einstein:~$ cat /home/curty/.local/share/applications/alpine.desktop [Desktop Entry] Name=alpine Encoding=UTF-8 Comment=Simple text-based Mail User Agent Comment[de]=Einfaches, Text-basiertes Mailprogramm Type=Application Exec=/usr/bin/alpine Icon=utilities-terminal Terminal=true MimeType=x-scheme-handler/mailto; Categories=Email;Office;Network curty@einstein:~$ cat /usr/local/lib/alpine/mailto-alpine #!/bin/bash exec x-terminal-emulator -e alpine -url "$@" (In Firefox, for example, you can then select 'mailto-alpine' as your mailto mail app.)
