[plug] evolution email file association

[William Kenworthy]

Might help:

"To change the default browser if you are not using GNOME, do:"
"gconftool-2 --set /desktop/gnome/url-handlers/http/command -t string
'mozilla %s'"
"gconftool-2 --set /desktop/gnome/url-handlers/https/command -t string
'mozilla %s'"

"Replace 'mozilla %s' with which ever browser you use."

This is printed out at the end of the evolution install on gentoo.  I
use the gnome desktop (where it works fine) so it might/might not apply
to KDE in your case.  GUI's only cover a subset (seems small in gnomes
case in fact) of the available commands.
