[NTLUG:Discuss] Firefox 1.5.0.6

[. Daniel]

I believe this value is properly set somewhere in the OS.  In this case, 
somewhere in the window manager's settings.  I know that in Gnome's case, 
there is a setting for setting up the default email application along with 
default web browser and others.  Same is true of Windows.  I cannot speak 
for KDE and certainly not of other Linux UI environments.

If your environment utilizes the default mailer app setting, then I think 
that would be the best to choose unless, of course, you have good reason to 
do otherwise and while I cannot imagine one, it's probably just a 
deficiency in my imagination this morning.
