Then I click to email address in browser, Seamonkey opens, but it does not open a window for a letter edition. In Mail Render I chose "custom" and type into Command: seamonkey -compose %s Now when clicking on the email, composition window opens I changed my email client, as written in this article, to Seamonkey mail.

I am running the latest minefield (Firefox 3.6a1pre) and the URLs in my twitter client Gwibber kept launching the default Firefox 3. Don't forget the %s I was going nuts copying and pasting hehe.

So is this a vista problem? Or microsoft monopolizing us again so that we can't change anything? Anyways any help would be greatly appreciated...txs Hi,,,I have vista x64 ultimate installed and I can’t get gmail notifier to access email links it keeps going to the windows default program and I can’t change it since it doesn’t offer any other program and I have gone through the options in gmail notifier to set it as the default client however it won’t work.
