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.
