I am also on > gnome and have much the same problem. 2 minutes research suggest that I cannot tell xdg-open to use another backend other than through environment variables, viz. BROWSER, DE, DESKTOP_SESSION. Unfortunately, I was not able to make this work by just setting the DESKTOP_SESSION in either the shell starting Emacs or via setenv. So I guess on could use an xdg-open alternative or hardcode programs in mailcap... Rasmus -- A page of history is worth a volume of logic
