When I do that, I get an error message saying that "galeon-bin" crashed (I've never been able to run Galeon in this Linux installation I've always gotten that same error message). Thunderbird doesn't access a web browser when I click on a hyperlink in an email or a news posting. I'm using Mandrake Linux v.9.2 with KDE v.3.1.4 and Thunderbird v.0.5 and Firefox v.0.8.
