Re: How to have 'mailto' (clicking addresses) open a new email in Gnus?

[Marius Hofert]

Dear Charles,

If I put emacs --daemon in ~/.profile, then nothing happens anymore if I click 
a link, not even Emacs is opened. If I remove it again from ~/.profile, then I 
get the same behavior as before (with the compose-mail-other-frame... "error"). 

I use Ubuntu 12.04 on a MacBook Air 4,1 (in case this matters). 

Cheers,

Marius
