I figured it out. For future reference...<br><br>Launch Services manages these links and document-double-clicks and we had to instruct LS on what to do when she clicked on the links in her email.<br><br>For Panther only:<br><br>I deleted com.apple.LaunchServices.6B.csstore from Hard Drive > Library > Caches and then restarted the computer. Everything is right as rain now.<br><br><br>M i c h a e l (OFI)

There's a preference on the General tab of Safari for setting the default browser, and that is the browser that Mail will use to open links in email messages. Try that first...<br><br>- padmavyuha<br><br>[color:purple]A lopsided man runs best along the little side-hills of success<br>- Frank Moore Colby</font color=purple>
