Sounds like Yahoo might need reporting to the tech evangelism team

http://www.mozilla.org/projects/tech-evangelism/

who promote the use of open standards and standards based websites. They
offer help and assistance to sites where the problems facing visitors using
Mozilla are a result of a problem with the site's design/implementation
rather than a bug.

Problems with Konqueror should be reported to KDE.

As a matter of interest, it is not actually "correct" to be able to click on
a non-web link (documents etc.) and have it open in an appropriate
application. It's just something us lazy people have got used to, and is a
likely source of major security/policy breaches (of concern to us lazy IT
Managers...).

Hi Chris,

Thanks for your response

Mozilla
=======

I already have plugger installed which came with RH8.0 CD.  I performed
following experiment:

Sent an email with a MSWord doc, a table, as attachment to following
websites respectively:

lycom.com       can be opened and read correctly with a CLICK
yahoo.com       has to be saved to a folder first before reading
hotmai.com      can be opened and read correctly with a CLICK


Konquer:
lycom.com       can be opened and read correctly with a CLICK
yahoo.com       can be opened and read correctly with a CLICK
hotmai.com      has to be saved to a folder first before reading


Netscape
Completely impossible, Plugin grey out and "about:plugins" showing that
it was there.  Preference -> Netscape -> Application -> app OpenOffice.

Clicking MSWord doc started OpenOffice with a blank page displayed.  I
am searching around for its HELP

Is "technology evangelism team" the bug Report of Mozilla?  Or send a
bug report to Plugger

B.Regards
Stephen Liu
