To be absolutely certain, I just tested my system for two cases.


Case 1
======

I rebooted the system. Then I connected to the Internet via my
Internet Service Provider.

I started TheBat!. I displayed the content of a message that had an
http link. I left-double-clicked on the link.

Opera, my default browser, started, and Opera displayed the linked-to
document.


Case 2
======

I started by rebooted the system. Then I connected to the Internet via
my Internet Service Provider.

I started Netscape Navigator. This made Netscape Navigator my open
browser.

I started TheBat!. I displayed the content of a message (the same
message as in Case 1) that had an http link. I left-double-clicked on
the link.

Just as it did in Case 1, Opera, my default browser, started, and
Opera (and not Netscape Navigator) displayed the linked-to document.
