If TB always uses IE, then TB is wrong and broken. G> A bug would be if you set Firefox to be your default browser, and you G> get Opera when you click on a link. "Not implemented" is when a G> feature is not offered. 1. The fact that TB uses the system default browser when viewing a message as TEXT shows that TB knows how to correctly access the default system browser. 2. The fact that TB uses IE instead of the system default browser when viewing a message as HTML would appear to be a bug in relation to fact #1. 3. The fact that there is only one setting for which browser TB should use, coupled with facts #1 & 2, would indicate that TB is not using its own setting in one of the two different view modes and, most would call that a bug. 4. It is possible (perhaps even likely) that the dialog where the browser selection exists is using "Microsoft Internet Explorer" as a sort of generic name instead of saying "system default browser." This could make sense due to a combination of language translation issues combined with the idea that many people still have IE as their default system browser. Or not, this one is pure supposition on my part, but it seems reasonable (to me.) 5. I'm not sure where "not implemented" got into this, but if you're trying to imply that TB has "not implement" any access to the default system browser, I believe that you are incorrect. When I have Chrome as my default browser, the links I click in TB open Chrome. When Firefox is my default browser, those same links in TB open FireFox. I always use text mode, which is where the original poster reported the system default browser to work correctly. -- Steven Vallière | tb 5.1.6.4 | mailto:[email protected] -- "If you didn't write it down, then it didn't happen." -Larry Zana ________________________________________________________ Current beta is 5.1.6.4 | 'Using TBBETA' information: http://www.silverstones.com/thebat/TBUDLInfo.html
