> How do you copy a URL into the clipboard in those mailers? well funny you should mention it, but this is the only way I can launch a URL from a message on TB..i.e. copy the URL to the clipboard (yankee clipper plus) then feed it into the DEFAULT browser i.e Opera 6.5 Then Gerard said: > Charlie, > I have no problem clicking on HTML links.

I hear this answer in the past and I'm sure it does happen just not for me. > As far as I understand it the clue is to associate HTML files with a > Browser and setting TB! as a MAPI handler > (options|prefference|applications). I also have all check-boxes marked. Well yes, but in my version of TB only .MSG .EML and .VCF and 'mailto' is available for association, not .HTM. Then Daniel Grunberg said: > TheBat! knows to respond to a double-left-click on a URL shown > in a message, by calling your default browser. Well no it doesn't on my system..If I do as you've described, I get a error message (sent to bug complaints twice) and the application 'locks' the cursor into a continuos rotating 'hourglass' although it still functions as a regular cursor..this process is quite repeatable. > The trick is to inform your system that a particular browser is your > default browser. Look up "default" in your browser's help index to > find out how. Well I use Opera 6.5 as the 'default' browser..it has this feature built into the preferences as you know. I also don't have MSIE on the system. > You also must tell your browser how to find TheBat! See "Making TB > work with browsers" under: > > TheBat! | Help | Help Topics > | Contents | Help and Troubleshooting | Common Errors OK..this I haven't tried..so thanks possibly in advance of clearing up the problem. Then Alexander Leschinsky said: > The Bat always uses only action "Open" for found protocol and _ignore_ > "default" action, which can differ from Open (and even if you kill Open, > Windows restore it) hummm..interesting..can you explain the difference a bit more that is between default as in default browser, and 'Open'. but if you go into as it were "Open with" and associate .HTM with TB, doesn't that rather mess up one's browser use?
