KMail wants me to create a second account.

Kernel 2.6.21.5, GNU (Slackware 12.0).
KDE 3.5.7.
KMail 1.9.7

Hi:
In the www.x.org home page, there is a link 'the xorg mailing list'. If I click on this link, then the KMail Account Wizard (window subtitle New account setup) opens and I am compelled to create a new account. But I already have one, and I send and receive mail with this account. Can it be that this behavior is induced by www.x.org? I don't feel like opening a second account. Thanks in advance.

The link that you are talking about is simply a mailto: URL. Did you mark your current mail account as the default?

Yes. I did not see the 'Mail to: URL' message in the status bar. Now I watch and saw it. I'll see how to mark my current mail account as the default. I assume I should do it from within KMail. Thanks a lot.
