</span>Hi,<br>
<br>
I think this would be useful for GNOME. One of our goals is for the<br>
user to be able to set GMail as the default mail application in System<br>
Settings. If the user visits <a href="http://gmail.com" target="_blank">gmail.com</a> and it attempts to register<br>
itself as a mailto:// handler, I envision the WebKitGTK+ would fire a<br>
signal that would trigger Epiphany to display an info bar to ask the<br>
user for approval. If the user approves the registration, we would go<br>
one step further: we'd create a new web application for GMail and in<br>
the desktop file indicate support for the MIME type x-scheme<br>
-handler/mailto (or if the user already has a GMail web application,<br>
modify the desktop file to add that MIME type). The user would then be<br>
able to set the GMail web app as the default mail application<br>
systemwide.<br>
<br>
We would restrict this functionality to HTTPS sites only. I'd greatly<br>
prefer that restriction to be enforced by WebKit rather than<br>
implementing that policy in Epiphany.<br>
