Who's responsible for that emaildefaults stuff ?
It seems that invokeMailer doesn't read the same section as
what the kcontrol module saves... and since the kcontrol module
has changed again, I don't know if the info below is still true....

In short, the module saves into some group that has a profile name
into it ("default" or so), but konqueror (via invokeMailer I guess,
or via kmailservice) looks for the [ClientInfo] group.
This would explain all the "can't change the default mailer" reports.

You're right...the version is 2.1.1 for both. I was looking at the
version number listed in the KDE help file (here:
file:/usr/share/doc/HTML//default//khelpcenter/userguide/index.html)
which is the version for the help file itself it seems.

Well, there's a problem solved...I added that section to the
emaildefaults config file (with changes for my email client) and it
started up properly right away. It appears that in my version the
[ClientInfo] section is not added at install but Konqueror requires
it.
