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.
