I used PM 5.6.4 on a MacBook Pro running Leopard 10.5.2. Camino is
currently my default browser.
Things were fine until I had a problem with my laptop and ended up
erasing the drive and restoring everything from a back-up clone.
Now, even though Camino is my default browser (and is automatically
opened and used at all other times), when a URL is sent as an attachment
and I choose the attachment from within PM, it tends to open the web
site using an ancient copy of Explorer that I have among my applications.
I would appreciate any guidance about how I can adjust the settings so
that PM always uses Camino (or whatever I choose as my computer's
default browser).
Thanks for your help.

Choose the attachment that opens in explorer and change the program that
opens it in the info window.

The way i have done it in the past is to start up Apples Safari and in
the preferences there is a setting for default browser.

These are two quite different defaults: setting the default browser for
handling the http protocol (which you can do in Safari, for example, or
with MisFox) on the one hand, and setting the default application for
opening .html (or .htm) files on the other, which is usually done in the
info window invoked in the Finder. With attachments, only the latter
applies; the default browser setting is irrelevant and will be ignored.
For example, you could select Safari as your default browser and still
have .html files open with your favorite HTML editor.

Thanks to all who responded to my question (see below).
I followed your instructions to select the html attachment and then use
the "Get Info" option to change not only that specific html attachment
but all that are of the same type. It worked perfectly.
Thanks for helping me out.
