Bug#1079614: geary: the view-source option for a message launches libreoffice which isn't useful

[Russell Coker]

Package: geary
Version: 46.0-3
Severity: normal

When I select the "View Source" option for a message LibreOffice is launched
and there doesn't seem to be a way to do anything else.

If I run the command "open /tmp/geary-message-$UID.txt" then it will use kate
(a reasonable choice for a desktop environment), why doesn't Geary use the
same mechanism for determining which program to use?
