[sylpheed:34797] Re: Web page email links not opening Sylpheed in Win 7

[Bill Pratt]

Using Firefox and XP, and associating Sylpheed with the "mailto" content type, Sylpheed automatically opens the compose window with the address inserted. Using Windows 7, with the same association, Sylpheed opens with the main window but not the compose window. As Gene asks, does anyone know how to fix this?

(In Firefox > Preferences > Applications tab) Maybe you must change the one for "mailto" ? On Gentoo Linux I'd to make a bash script to open sylpheed --compose, otherwise it just opened the main window of sylpheed.
