<div><font color="#000000">Hold down the Option key, and double-click
on an active URL link in a message. You'll see a dialog box that asks
you to select an application to do http (or whatever type of URL you
are clicking). Browse through your hard drive to find your favorite
web browser and double-click its application. Eudora will remember
thereafter to use that web browser to open URL's. If, in the future,
you want to change the web browser, just option-double-click on an
active URL to get the dialog box again.<br>
<br>
With Eudora 6.0 on Mac OS 10.1 - 10.2.8, Eudora uses OS default
browser (Set in the System Preferences) by default and that the
option-click a URL method now only works if you have the following
setting set (to 'y'):<br>
<br>
<x-eudora-setting:360> When checked, Eudora will use its own URL
helper lists instead of the system ones (OS X only).<br>
<br>
If you are running Panther (10.3) you can set the default browser by
launching Safari. Then go to Preferences->General->Default Web
Browser and choose what you wish to use as the Default browser for
10.3.</font></div>

</font>To summarize:</div>
<div><br></div>
<div><font face="Arial" size="-3" color="#000000"> In Eudora you
actually have BOTH options. You can either have Eudora use the OS
defaults (which is the default Eudora behavior now) or you can have
Eudora maintain its own list. To set Eudora to maintain its own list,
use:<br>
<br>
<x-eudora-setting:360> When checked, Eudora will use its
own url helper lists instead of the system ones (OS X only).<br>
<br>
Set this setting to 'y' and then use the option-command-click a
URL to set the helper application for that type of URL.
Option-command-clicking a URL when that setting is NOT set will do
nothing.<br>
