If NetSurf is already running, selecting a link in an incoming message in Messenger works and NetSurf opens the web page. However, if NetSurf is not running (but Alias$URIOpen_... and Alias$URLOpen_... are set to run it), and I click on a link in a Messenger message there is a pause, then the border of a dialogue window is drawn (with no content) and the machine locks up. The mouse pointer still moves but Alt Break etc. can't break out of the lock-up.
What kind of dialogue are we talking about here? A Wimp error box or something else?
If I start NetSurf from other applications, or my own Basic functions that look at Alias$URLOpen_... and do a Wimp_StartTask, it works OK. So it seems that whatever Messenger is doing to fire up NetSurf causes this problem. I thought I would ask if any other NetSurf users have seen the problem (then I'll probably report it to RComp).
It may be useful to run Wimpmon and have it log the relevant Wimp message blocks to disc in raw format.
