Hi All, I recently installed Firefox 1.5 on a FreeBSD 6.1 system. Mostly it seems to work fine with some apparent finickyness about odd character sets. Since it does not include Email, I also installed Thunderbird which works as its own standalone. But, when I am looking at a web page that has a 'mailto:' in a tag and I click on the link to send a message to whoever, nothing happens - presumably because there is no mail handler in Firefox. So, how, in FreeBSD 6.xxx do I deal with this? Can I make it call up something like a plugin or whatever to handle that mailto: Email item. I haven't found anything that looks like a configuration item for such as that. Thanks for any help you can give, ////jerry
