Why can't I open links in my e-mails on Evolution?
 
So, I get e-mails from both POP3 and IMAP servers on my Evolution service but what bugs me is that I cannot open any links within the e-mails on a browser window when I click on them (like would normally happen when I go to my accounts individually on the internet).

Is it because I use Firefox or a bug in Evolution?

Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated.

What menu is that under?

I also see that right-mouse-click then "Copy Link Location" also fails to copy the link location into whatever buffer the mouse stores this in. The previous contents remain.

How/where exactly do I do this?

I'm running Fedora 14.the GUI's pretty much like ubuntu.

system->Preferences->preferred application ,and then choose FireFox to open your links.
