[nflug] fun with ssh

[Stephen Burke]

Hi all,

I'm using ssh -X to run thunderbird for this mailbox. When I click a 
link in a message a new tab opens in my local firefox. I have no idea 
why it's doing this, but actually it's rather useful, especially if the 
links include flash or video. What I need now is a way to send "mailto" 
links from the local ff back to the remote tbird instead of the local 
(unconfigured) evolution. Both machines are ubuntu feisty.

I'm thinking there's something that can be done in about:config, but I 
haven't had any luck mucking about with the mail-type settings that are 
there. I'm also unsure about what would go in a new one in this 
instance. Maybe a line in /etc/mailcap?

Everything I've found online has been various universities explaining to 
students how to connect to their mail servers with ssh for whatever reason.

I'm lost.

Thanks,
S.
