In Mozilla, if I click on an email address Mozilla naturally goes

clicking on an email address in Mozilla will open Eudora?
I believe this is normally done by setting Eudora as the default
app in Mail.app's preferences.
I hope that gets around the fact that your browser has it's 'own'
mail app.
Good luck

In Mozilla's preference panel for Mail & Newsgroups there appears to
be no way of setting Eudora as the default.
Were you referring to some other Mail? The only other Mail I have
is Apple's Mail and it is different in layout from the one that pops
up in Mozilla. The mystery deepens.

Hi Merv
Yes I did mean Apple's Mail.app.
I use Thunderbirbird so under Mail>Preferences>General>Default Email
Reader I have Thunderbird selected.
In the 'old' days there was a preference pane in System prefs but now
one needs to set the default mail app from within Mail.app's prefs,
same for browsers where you do it from Safari's prefs.
I hope I'm on the right track as I have never used Eudora.
Perhaps you could tell us why you use it as I am quietly looking for
a new mailer...
HTH
Good luck

Hi Paul
1 The version of Mail that I have with OS X 10.2.8 is v 1.2.5. Its
preference panels do not contain a General option. Screen shots of
Mail with 10.4 do have such. Mail seems to come with the System so
unless I upgrade I won't have all the preferences that you have.
2 I wonder whether we are talking at cross-purposes. In Eudora I can
set up Mozilla so that when I click on an URL in Eudora the site opens
in Mozilla. However, what I want is the situation that when I am in
Mozilla and an email address is given in the web page, a click on the
email address or 'contact us' will take me to Eudora. I can do this
with Internet Explorer and I think a protocol helper in the
preferences of IE facitated this connection. I'm moving away from IE
hence all the interest in Mozilla.
3 I have always preferred the freedom and speed of a stand-alone email
application - not something lumbered with a browser, and so I use
Eudora. It has a range of features (most of which I don't use
Heh Merv,
Try reading this bit again ? It's got interesting connotations !
so I get four or five emails at each download that offer me a better
sex life) which an enthusiast would wish to use. It comes in three
form, lite, sponsored and the fully purchased. I use the sponsored
and because my needs are simple and it does all that I require.
Sex life ?
