Donn, you are wanted in Haifa! Your beer is waiting...

That was just what I needed. I set the default application to Firefox
and the File Association to Konqueror, and it now behaves just how I
would like:

1) I can browse the web in Konqi
2) E-mail links open in Firefox
3) I must right-click and select Open With to open local html files in
kate. No big deal- I can live with that.

Thank you very much! What beer do you drink? (I prefer Leff myself)
