This book is divided into two parts, with several
|
|
appendices. The first part is a <link linkend="usage">guided
|

tour</link>, which will explain how to use
|
|
Evolution. If you are new to
|
|
Evolution or to groupware in
|
|
general, this section is for you. The second section, covering
|
|
<link linkend="config">configuration</link>, is targeted at
|
|
more advanced users, but anyone who wants to change the way
|
|
Evolution looks or acts can benefit
|
|
from reading it.

|
<guilabel>World wide web (http)</guilabel>, and select

the browser of your choice. If you wish to use a

browser other than the ones suggested, you will need to

For GNOME desktops, you can set
|
|
Evolution to be the default
|
|
mail client, so that it opens when you click a mailto:
|
|
link in web pages and help tools. To do that, open the
|
|
GNOME preferences tool and start the <guilabel>File
|
|
Associations</guilabel> tool. There, look under
|
|
<guilabel>Internet Services</guilabel>, select
|
|
<guilabel>Electronic mail transmission
|
|
(mailto)</guilabel>, and select
|
|
<guilabel>Evolution</guilabel> from the drop-down
|
|
list.

</para>

<para>
|
|
For applications such as Mozilla and Netscape, which do

|
not use the GNOME preference tools, you will need to
|
|
find the protocol handler preference tool for that
|
|
application and enter <userinput>evolution
|
|
"%s"</userinput> as your choice for handling mailto links.
