I'm actually more interested in figuring out how to make the system use tear to launch hyperlinks. For instance, when you click on a link in modest, it opens it in microb. Like you said Andrew, we can access bookmarks from the tear plugin, so what we need to figure out is if Modest, and any other apps that allow you to use hyperlinks, call Microb (or a launch script) directly or if it is a dbus call similar to a mime open. I plan on looking into it unless some one else already has, or does it before I free up some time.
