[Digikam-users] Change email handler for sending pictures

[BGP]

The sad thing is that there's a long post on the Ubuntu forums on how to 
install TB3.....in which the posters babel something about tar and all 
sorts of other nonsense which never tells me how to install anything on 
my machine.  I hate Windows....but Linux is doing a good job, all by 
itself, of convincing me it's a pain in the neck.
