#244887 — chrome mailto:?

I used to use claws-mail, and installed it. I now want to use
thunderbird, (NOT thunderbird-esr, I installed thunderbird and update
it manually.)

Under Xfce, the default mail handler can be set to thunderbird, which
works.

Under fvwm, chrome still defaults to claws-mail.

Modern chrome's no longer have handler options.

Any idea where the mailto: claws-mail is stored in fvwm?

    Thanks,

    John

xdg-settings set default-url-scheme-handler mailto thunderbird.desktop
Assuming that you have a /usr/share/applications/thunderbird.desktop file.
No guarantee that it works, but you could try. ;-)
