    I'm using MultiMail 0.52 and have a problem when I click links in messages.

    When I left-click, it acts like page-down. When I right-click, I get taken back to the list of messages in the echo.

    Multimail has an option called "UseLynxNav" in .mmailrc. I have mine set to off but I don't know if that will help any.

    Anyone know of a work-around/solution, or an awesome new mail reader (for Linux) that I should try?

    MultiMail is the best option I know of for offline mail in linux.

    You can also use the web interface in a web browser at trmb.ca, then links open up as expected.

    Middle-click (on the scroll wheel) works for me.

    Hmmm... not for me. I get a panel that asks what area I want to enter a new message into.

    I figured out one work-around though: If I hit reply so all the text of the message goes into my external editor, I can at least copy the link and paste it.

    I'll probably try the web interface at The Rusty Mailbox for a while and see how
    that goes.

    Tried, but didn't help.

    I'll try that! Should work fine.

    I'm currently not using MM on Linux but when I was, CTRL-Click on URLs
    worked for me.

    That works! Thank you


    I compiled Bluemail and it seems to handle urls better. Although my laptop is a MacBook that I coverted to Mate Linux

    I just connect to the BBS by NNTP, it's similar in usage
    but slrnpull makes it really easy to follow threads and
    offline reading.
