#6 replace dependency on kde-open with xdg-open

Some functions, e.g. opening attachments, seem to require kde-open. Please consider replacing with xdg-open (more desktop agnostic). Workaround: ln -s /usr/bin/xdg-open /usr/local/bin/kde-open.

Hi,
You can edit open command in the settings menu.
Program=>Options
Change option "OpenCommand" to whatever you prefer.

Thanks for pointing this out; I certainly missed it. Your workaround is certainly better than mine but I still believe default value of xdg-open is more sensible. If you disagree, feel free to close this ticket.
