Every time I click on an address link it opens Mail. I have looked around but cannot find where to set Thunderbird as the default email client. Anyone?

W00t! Thanks! Silly that I have to go into Mail to tell it not to use Mail. I recall in Jaguar there was an option in the Internet preference for web browser. Now it's in Safari. Silly Apple. Growing more like M$ daily.

Not to say Mail isn't a pretty program. Just not what I want.

I agree, it's a stupid thing to have to do...
