How does thunderbird open a http-link within a browser?

helmut · 2009-01-27 22:39:57

I often get mails with http-links. On my previous system I could click on the link and the browser window opened showing the web page.

If I click on a link on my thunderbird nothing happens. I am sure it is possible to configure thunderbird to open http-links in the default browser on the system. However I have not found the possibility to configure thunderbird in that way.

Can anybody give me a hint on how to do it?

Thanks.

i d'ont use it since long now but it has always been a poor trick in a lost config confile, not possible from the gui itself.
wiki/google/forum search will sure give it to you.

oh..seems it's possible from thunderbird itself..so easy..
this is totally unbelievable, how could the devs let that like this..oh moz devs of course, not ours

otherwise i've discover clawsmail a few weeks ago, very good, at least for me, and kmail when i was a kde addict

Thankyou sand_man, your link gave me the needed information to configure thunderbird. Now it works as expected.
