Hi there
You can create/receive html mails containing links to local files with file:// format. In the case of
file:///usr/share/doc/bittorrent/index.html firefox will be launched to view it. Ok, why not.
If the local file pointed to is set as executable, and you have wine installed - Then wine will be used to run the file.
If you put in a link to an existing w32 exe file on the system, it will indeed start, for example:
file:///home/username/.wine/drive_c/windows/notepad.exe
Hmm, i can send links launching local applications though wine... Perhaps its not a big problem, but on the other hand i can not send links to run dedicated linux applications like /usr/bin/gnome-calculator .
If i try it with the link file:///usr/bin/gnome-calculator, evolution will run wine and wine will at least look at the file and examine its no w32 executable. But i think this is odd anyway.
regards
that seems to be a wine thing reassigning there
