That must be where I have gone wrong. A new tab opens up (blank), but the download dialog popup never appears. There are hundreds of configuration settings in Firefox - how did you tell Firefox to always ask for the location? >you can also copy the link in the mail and paste it in a new firefox >tab... I tried that. It still opens a blank tab. >and, no, i don't think you can directly download from http in claws. I don't think so either. I was just wondering if it was possible in other mail clients. At least now I know it is something in my Firefox settings.
