When I click on a mailto: link, I'd like gnuclient to call compose-mail. I have this working manually from the command line no problem. What I believe I need to do is to run OS X's Mail.app and then select the default mailer within the preferences. However, a small shell script I wrote to call gnuclient does NOT appear (or rather, it's greyed out, not valid) in the select-a-new-application dialog that allows me to select a new app default. Surely this is a problem others have run into ... any advice would be appreciated on what sort of app would work. (One suggestion: http://sourceforge.net/projects/mailtomutt , but that's pretty mutt-specific.) JDO
