Re: [expert] Opening URL's in Sylpheed
Ah HA! I figured it out, and it was really stupid too. When i downloaded mozilla i got the full binary install instead of the installer which downloads the necessary files and installs them in the default directories. So i have mozilla installed in /usr/local/mozilla1.0/mozilla/ which, of course, isn't in my $PATH. =P On a side note, does anyone know how to move the necessary files into a more standard location? (i tried making a link in /usr/local/bin to the binary but it said something about not being able to find some kind of resource when i ran it from there) Or am i just gonna have to use the installer when the next release comes out?

I just use mozilla '%s' and right click on the link.

[expert] Opening URL's in Sylpheed
Okay, so i now have the latest version of sylpheed and i want to be able to open URL's in Mozilla 1.0 because manually copying is a PITA. =) Anway i did some research and looked up www.mozilla.org/unix/remote.html which says that the command to open up a new URL in a currently open mozilla session is: mozilla -remote "openurl(http://www.whatever.com)" So that's what i put in under Configuration -> Common Preferences.. -> Other -> Web Browser. I also tried entering the url part of "openurl" in lower and upper case. (I replaced the www.whatever.com with %s of course) Unfortunately that doesn't seem to work. Is it possible that Sylpheed doesn't support Mozilla 1.0 or am i doing something wrong? KIRT -- Where'd you get your CPU?
