Dear David, Kent and friends: The "URL won't launch problem is directly related to Konqueror, NOT to Kmail. I tested a number of combinations and at last was able to prove this. When I changed the html file association to Epiphany AND also selected Epiphany as my browser of choice under Component Choice (KDE Components in Control Center), the problem disappeared. I tested in Kmail, and Kmail launched the URL instantly through Epiphany. It's clearly a Konqueror issue because when I launch Konqueror by itself and try to access the same URL, it takes an eternity (as already described). On the other hand, when I do the same in Epiphany on its own, it launches it instantly. So, clearly it's a Konqueror issue. Its rendering engine is very, very slow. But that's not all. When I opened one of my web sites LOCALLY with Konqueror, it launched the index.html file instantly. So somewhere between my computer and the Internet Konqueror is enountering a serious problem. Thank you all for your kind help with this issue. Benjamin -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble? Contact [EMAIL PROTECTED]
