Actually I use that one all the time. But it launches whatever I have set 
up as my system default browser. In my case, that is indeed IE. I don't 
click the beginning. Just click anywhere on the link with the correct 
modifier key (I forget which key I have to have down if it isn't in front 
of me - I think it's the command key). But it certainly is a good tip, 
you are right about that.

I wonder if there is a similar tip that would do that for those very few 
HTML attachments I get that I actually have to open. There is only one 
organization that I still like to hear from that so far insists on 
formatting in HTML. The vast majority is spam. It would be nice if there 
was a key secret that saved dragging the HTML attachment into a browser 
window - after first launching my web browser. Oh well. I send those 
folks a polite request to stop using HTML mail so that I could stand to 
read their product. I live in hope.

Dave
