[muglo] Re: email Links

I have resolved the problem and sorry for any inconvenience. However 
the reason may be of interest to others.  As we know,OS X (10.3) the 
default browser is determined by Safari.  When I looked there it had 
selected "Firefox copy" which I may have had at sometime?  I did a 
search on "Firefox copy" on the HD and it did not show up!! Finally I 
found it in the Trash!! Two things that I thought were interesting:  
(1) that when I changed the Default Browser it automatically changed it 
back to  "Firefox copy" - which explains why the email link would not 
open the page.    (2) that the Browser "selector" kept using the 
Browser in the Trash rather than the one selected from a Folder on the 
Desktop!! So remember that a file in the Trash is available to other 
programs!!  Clearing the trash, cleared the problem!! A strange beast 
is Safari!!
