There should also be a system-wide setting in /etc/mailcap. On my Fedora machine, the system-wide settings all look like this: text/html; /usr/bin/xdg-open %s ; copiousoutput If yours doesn't, you could override it in ~/.mailcap. If that doesn't fix things, I'm out of ideas :-|. GL, > May contains speling mistake > Funnny ;) -- Suvayu Open source is the future. It sets us free.
