Bug Description

Binary package hint: kmail

When clicking on a URL contained in a email message, konqueror doesn't open on the URL itself.
What happens instead is that the URL gets fetched and saved in temporary html page and the konqueror opened on it.
kmail is v1.9.5, konqueror is v3.5.5 and Kubuntu is 6.10 up to date.

For me it works properly (I choose that kmail opens firefox, now).

I choose konqueror as the default KDE browser. And this yelds to
the "problem".
If I choose anyting different, it works as said by mr.

In the default application section of the "system settings" you have to define the default browser as
kfmclient openProfile webbrowsing
and not
konqueror

Kmail should define "kfmclient openProfile webbrowsing" as the default browser. Otherwise it looses any sense.
