Mailing files from Konqueror
Question
I want to right click on one or more files in Konqueror and create a new mail with the files as attachments. Is this possible?
Answer
Yes, by creating a service menu entry.
In the directory .kde/share/apps/konqueror/servicemenus, relative to your home directory, create a file called sendto.desktop with the following contents:
[Desktop Entry]
Actions=SendToMailRcp
Encoding=UTF-8
ServiceTypes=all/allfiles
X-KDE-Priority=TopLevel
X-KDE-Submenu=Send To
[Desktop Action SendToMailRcp]
Name=Mail Recipient...
Exec=kmail --attach %F
Icon=kmail

Using KMail from Firefox
Question
How do I get Firefox to open mailto-links with KMail and use KMail from Tools/New Message?
Answer
For some reason this IMO important configuration setting hasn't made it into the Preferences dialog but it is available:
- Open the "about:config" page.
- Type "mailto" in the filter field.
