[Techtalk] Re:Sylpheed-Configuring e-mail Web-url location

[Andrew]

Hi Again,

	I am still not there yet???? *Much closer I think . Let's see if I can
clearify a bit.
	There is a dialog box in Sylpheed in the "Configuration" menu, next is
a "Common Preferences" slection, next is "other" which has a drop down
menu containing a place to type in your choice of browser. Pre-set are
Netscape Moz, Konq. This is the box we are all talking about. 
	I put, in that text box "/usr/lib/mozilla_1.1/./mozilla" That is
the path I use for Icons in KDE and use to start Mozilla from the
terminal. No joy yet.
	 I was hoping to find a config file, but don't know which file
to look into. Don't know exactly why I put Mozilla in /usr/lib but there
it is. Would moving it to /usr/bin and resetting the paths for the rest
of the system be worth the trouble?? Now that I have moved things about
it might cause more problems to move Moz back to bin. I am only
guessing,  does anyone here think I should look for a settings file in
/usr/bin and redirect it??? Which one??
	Is usr/bin the standard/expected location for mozilla? The Mozilla
recomended location /usr/local "does not exist" in Mandrake or it's
empty....

	Learning with every post! Any and all coments welcome.

	Thank you,
	 Andrew
