Hmmm... I turned the HTML reader off and tried clicking on some links in messages after displaying the HTML through the menu at the bottom of the frame, and suddenly I was able to get links to open in my default browser. I turned the HTML browser back on, and it continued to work. The contextual menu that appears when I control-click on a link continues to be non-functional, however. - Don
