Hi Martyn

Run Konqueror, then Settings...Configure Konqueror...File
Associations...text...html. Add your browser to the Application
Preference Order and move it to the top of the list. It sort of works
(after a KDE restart), but I find the association either gets lost or
broken after a while. That could be because I was running a cvs version
of KDE 3.2 on my Debian box, and it did weird things <g>

If there's a better way of doing it, I'd like to know. It's much easier
with Evolution, etc., where the default Gnome browser can be changed
through gnome-control-center.

Oh, and regarding the discussion last night about KMail's preview pane -
it can be turned off - at least in version 1.6.1 (KDE 3.2.1). Go to
Settings...Configure KMail...Appearance...Layout...Don't show a message
preview pane.

Regards, Martin
