The default entry mozilla -remote 'openURL(%s,raise)' corrupts the URL. mozilla '%s' works fine. Change 'openURL(%s,raise)' to 'openURL(%s)' and it will work. As you found, just using mozilla '%s' also works except it opens a new mozilla each time (I think). Using the openURL uses the existing mozilla that is running (it won't auto start mozilla).

It did when I used 0.9.x as shipped, but hasn't worked with the new install. I think that having two versions installed may have caused the problem.

[newbie] Sylpheed again
Getting used to Sylpheed now. It still seems a bit awkward compared with the facility of pine and there is one feature (from pine) which I really miss; the ability to double-click on a web link and spawn a browser to access it. In sylpheed the links come up in green, but nothing happens when you click or double-click on them, and there does not seem to be any way to define a default browser in the configuration menu. Perhaps somebody knows a way? The Help option does not - probably still to be written. Using version 0.7.3 under Mandrake 8.2. When I tried to send this using the alias newbie from the address book sylpheed failed to translate to [EMAIL PROTECTED] but wrote [EMAIL PROTECTED] Pine does alias translation without a problem, so I am being forced to revert to pine. -- Len Lawrence Want to buy your Pack or Services from MandrakeSoft?

Myself, am using Sylpheed claws version 0.8.5 As for your address problem, just a guess - but it seems you might already have a newbie entry for @tarazed.demon.co.uk in your address book. Good Luck!

Your version of sylpheed is pretty old--can you upgrade? You can get 0.8.3 from rpmfind. IIRC, there were problems with the address book in 0.7.x. Aliases work fine for me. Just type the alias and hit the tab key and it will auto complete for you. If you have more than one alias that begins with the same characters, tabbing will give you a drop down list to choose from. So, if I have aliases marka, markb, and markc, typing mark and then hitting tab will bring up a drop down menu including all three marks. Pretty handy. As for the browser, Configuration Common Preferences Other and type the path to the browser you want to use, or choose a common one from the drop-down menu (in Claws 0.8.3).
