really? Are you using gnome? I'm using KDE...
Ditto for me, using FVWM. See bug #425790, which is present in both
-3 and -4. In Gnome, icedove can piggyback on other configurations to
open links correctly. There's a suggested workaround, but I'm hoping
that it's fixed "properly" before I get fed up with right-click, copy
link. It makes me glad that I moved my RSS feeds from icedove to
Google, though.
I looked at the bug report, particularly:
http://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=425790;msg=55
The essential part of the workaround was:
Now, add a file called http-browser.js to the
/etc/icedove/pref/ directory and insert:
pref("network.protocol-handler.app.http","x-www-browser");
pref("network.protocol-handler.app.https","x-www-browser");
... or whatever browser you want. (or fix the x-www-browser
alternative to point to your preferred browser).
