RHBA-2008:0018 - Bug Fix Advisory
Synopsis
launchmail bug fix update
Type/Severity
Bug Fix Advisory
Red Hat Insights patch analysis
Identify and remediate systems affected by this advisory.
Topic
An updated launchmail package that fixes a bug is now available.
Description
The launchmail package contains launchmail, which launches the preferred
mail client set in GNOME's Preferred Applications chooser. This package
also places the email launch icon on the GNOME top panel.
On KDE-only systems that do not have GNOME or Evolution installed, clicking
the launchmail icon caused a "ERROR: The mail client evolution does not
exist. Please reconfigure." error. In this updated package, launchmail
falls back gracefully on KDE-only systems.
Users of launchmail are advised to upgrade to this updated package, which
resolves this issue.
Solution
Before applying this update, make sure that all previously-released
errata relevant to your system have been applied.
This update is available via Red Hat Network. Details on how to use
