Hi Lonnie,

thanks for taking the time to compile Evolution and send these bug
reports!

This should be filed, I doubt it's related to your compilation.

Yeah, this is known.  It's not picking the location file from the right
directory.

This should be filed.  (I have seen it, but I wasn't sure what it was so
I haven't filed it yet.)

This works for me with Galeon, I don't know about Mozilla though.

You can run the configuration applet by hand:

        gnome-default-applications-properties

This should do it.

Please file this in too, with stack traces.

This is a function of some new code in ETable/ETree that still has a few
rough edges.  It's probably not necessary to file it in, Mike is still
working on it.

Interesting, this works for me.  Chris, do you have any idea?

I would file it in by default though.  :-)

Thanks again!
