I wish to hell TB would do that on my system..well like I say, I've resigned to the copy and paste because the superiority of the application is ahead of the field compared to the other email clients I tinker with. Still as TB is a work in progress, one day one of these new betas is going to work my way, and if it doesn't I won't be disappointed because I didn't expect it anyway. > Clicking another url will open another window or tab, no > error messages, no matter what I'm reading the message in, with > the exception that webmail gets interesting with that - -- > depending on which browser I'm reading in, I may get > another window/tab in that browser or it may call the default. > And, although SlimBrowser is set as my default, Favorites still > pull up whichever of IE6 & Crazy Browser was the previous default.

Clicking a mailto: link brings up The Bat!. But all the > newsreaders I've tried want to use their internal email > composition stuff This sounds normal to me. I use a newsreader called Xnews and it has an option to bring up an 'external' editor if you want to compose your letter in that..you could have Xnews launch TB automatically every time you composed a letter, and if you wanted to put the address in TB well of course you could and send the email from that but why? If you are using TB to create a reply to a news group you would be out of luck, because it would be I think impossible to send a news group message from TB as it cannot log into the news server, an essential requirement for posting a news message as you probably know. You could always compose your reply to the news group in TB 'editor' as it were and paste it into the newsreader before sending. I think that's the idea in Xnews. Some people can't write or edit anything without their favorite editor. There is or was a German email client called AK mail that used to offer the option of composing your messages in Word..talk about overkill, and you would of course need "ms word" on your system, a scary thought. There is a 'free' and tiny word processor and or editor called "crypt edit" and it can 'export' your message to word as well..packed with features, quite extraordinary really. The road goes on for ever and the party never ends.
