Thanks for trying to help.  I checked all buttons in Safari Preferences 
(General, Appearance, Bookmarks, Tabs, AutoFill, Security, and 
Advanced).  Nothing comes up like "right copy" or a choice of volumes 
or hard drives to open links.  In "General" there is a choice of "Open 
links from applications" either in a new window or in the current 
window.

Now, to put a finer point on this.  The setting was for new window.  I 
just now temporarily changed it to current window, used that, and then 
put it back to new window.  In both settings with the Safari on the 
main volume running, Mail links open up in that copy of Safari.  I was 
wrong in my earlier description or things just changed.  But with 
Safari not running, Mail links still open the Safari on my backup drive 
instead of on the same volume that is running Mail.  That's the problem 
which did not happen before the software upgrades.
