I have only one version of Safari installed (and the current build of Webkit). If it's already running, when I click on a link in a Mail document, it starts another instance of Webkit/Safari. If I click on yet another e-mail link, it starts a third instance, and so on. Honest. It's not a different version of the browser. Not unless that other Safari somehow manages to avoid turning up when I search the Finder for "Safari". Here's a screen capture of Activity Monitor with 5 instances of Safari running: http://joethejuggler.com/ActMonitorCapture.jpg It's not a big deal. I don't ordinarily click on e-mail links anyway.
