Thunderbird mail links dont work

linuxbeliever · 05-05-2005, 08:49 PM

Hi!
I'm using Suse 9.2 professional, I install Thunderbird 1.0.2 in my user account not as a root. The installation went ok but the links inside of emails don't work, I already went through the settings/preferrences to make sure every thing was ok, my default browser is Mozilla suite 1.7.7 without the email client.. Any ideas why are the links working in Thunderbird 1.0.2?

Thanks in advance.

If I knew, I'd tell you. I recently posted regarding this same thing... so a search might've helped you: http://www.linuxquestions.org/questi...ht=thunderbird

I still haven't gotten mine working yet.

If we could find the source of the problem, it might make a good source for a bug report.

Or we're all just screwing things up.

my take on this... there should be a place in the Linux verson of the program to locate a browser. That really shouldn't be that hard and it would work with all the distros and enviroments.

No, there should be a system-wide default that ALL programs refer to.

There is in KDE, (component chooser) it doesn't work... I had this problem a while back and tried that.

I know there is one, but I think thunderbird doesn't listen to it properly.
