wine users - Aug 2004 - Pegasus Mail: Opening HTTP links in linux browser

Hello together,

i would like to open HTTP links in common linux browsers. So, how must I
configure
Pegasus Mail and wine to do so?

I've found the following posting about a similar problem from Rein Klazes
here:
http://www.winehq.org/hypermail/wine-users/2003/12/0053.html

OK, I tried this...
in system.reg:

[Software\\CLASSES\\htmlfile\\shell\\open\\command] 1093618289
@="\"C:\\Program Files\\Konqueror\\konqueror %1\""

[Software\\CLASSES\\http\\shell\\open\\command] 1093618289
@="\"C:\\Program Files\\Konqueror\\konqueror %1\""

konqueror.exe looks like this:

#!/bin/sh
echo starting konqueror $1
if [ "$1" != "" ]; then
/usr/bin/konqueror "$1"
fi

But it didn't works even if Pegasus Mail should use the konqueror.exe file
directly
(user defined browser was defined about the file open dialog).

Running wine with --debugmsg +reg doesn't output any registry operations. 

I also tried this with another application, Total Commanders
"Help->Visit Totalcmd's
Web Site" menu item, same result. :-(
The script itself is ok, i can start it i.e. per Total Commander build-in
command line.

Any clues?

Bye,

Timo

I am sorry for ignoring the rest of your analysis.  IMHO winebrowser
application, which comes with Wine should suffice for that task.  I've
found one message [1] on the wine-devel list with the patch, in which you
can find winebrowser using some registry key.  Here it is:

[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\software\wine\config\winebrowser\browser]
@="mozilla,netscape,konqueror,galeon,opera"

IMHO you only need to adjust the default value of this branch of a 
registry.

Hi Saulius!

Thanks for the answer! 

In which file should I add/modify this line? - I can't find an entry
beginning with
"[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\" in user.reg or system.reg.

What I've found is the following item in user.reg:
[Software\\Wine\\WineBrowser] 1088978394
"Browsers"="sensible-browser"

What means "sensible-browser"????  BTW: Can anybody explain which
meaning the
numbers at the end of the headline of a registry item has?

The "link" (or whatever it exactly is) "winebrowser" works
also in my installation.
"winebrowser <URL>" starts mozilla with the used URL, but it
isn't registered as as
default browser. Pegasus Mail also don't start mozilla if I even use
"winebrowser" as
user defined web browser via the settings dialog.

Any ideas?

Bye,

Timo

It does not work here either (I get a crash). Fortunately you don't need
it with Pegasus, see below.

What version of wine are you using? The --debugmsg option has been
replaced ages ago. You must now run wine like:

WINEDEBUG=+reg wine ...

I have in my home directory (H: for wine) this script:

$ cat mozilla
 #!/bin/sh
 echo $0
 unset TMP TEMP
 /usr/bin/mozilla "$@"

Under Pegasus option_>hyperlinks I have "H:\mozilla"

Make sure the option "Find browser automatically" is disabled.
