I bought the latest edition of PC gamer this month, which
has Mozilla Firefox 0.8 on the DVD.

Thought I'd download the mail client.

WOW.

I've been using Thunderbird for the last 5 weeks. It's
great. It's worth keeping an eye on alt.fan.mozilla for tips
and advice on known bugs.

I installed it on DW's PC last weekend. Her excitement at
replying to a message and seeing the .sig automatically
placed below the quoted message was quite something to
behold :-)

I just gave up with it on Linux, cant get it to launch
Firefox (or any other browser) from a link within an email.
Apparently there is a new version coming out soon which
makes this easier (some people can get it to work at the mo
but not me)

What's the problem? What email client are you using?
(although why anyone would want to run Mozilla when they
could run Konqueror defeats
me).

Normally I think you control it by setting the
$BROWSER variable, whatever version of whichever email
client you use.

Try adding:

export BROWSER=firefox

to your .bashrc file

Konqueror is great, but the powers that control my internet
connection just started to do something that makes it only
work intermittently. I haven't the foggiest what it is or
how to investigate the problem, but Mozilla, Galeon &
Netscape seem untouched.

Thank goodness for the Linux way - if one program doesn't
work, the five others that do nearly the same thing slightly
differently probably will.

The problem is that when I click on a link, nothing happens.
The email client is Thunderbird, as per the message! I'll
try the fix in the next message.
