Thanks. That's what keeps me trying, instead of simply ignoring such posts as I've seen some claim to do. Because time after time, people don't even realize they're doing it, especially on gmail, or in evolution, etc. Sometimes I've seen it even happen to people I know from previous discussions vastly prefer plain text themselves, and who get rather embarrassed when I do the equivalent of "xyz, pdq!" (examine your zipper, pretty **** quick, said to someone with their fly open, in case that's an idiom that's gone out of favor, dating me), pointing out that they're posting in the html they'd /never/ have posted had they known! So I know accidents happen, and often enough, people are happy to comply, once they realize the problem. =:^) > I checked the settings in pan and learned that the problem was with how > Linux was setting the default browser.

Thanks for the fix report. =:^) FWIW, most folks familiar with the technical workings probably wouldn't say it was "Linux's" setting, but rather, the setting of whatever desktop environment (I'd guess gnome/unity there, since that's ubuntu's default desktop, here it'd be kde, since that's my desktop of choice, and my setting in pan, to use kde's settings). "Linux" either refers to the whole thing, and we're only taking one tiny bit of it here so that would be strange usage, or specifically to the Linux kernel only, and that would be even stranger usage, since this setting is WAYYY above anything the kernel deals with. But what you meant was clear enough. (I think! There's always the possibility I'm confused too! =:^) -- Duncan - List replies preferred. No HTML msgs.
