Yes, I have set the iceweasel as the default x-www-browser, it works 
fine when I click hyper links within the other applications except 
icedove. So I'm wondering if there is any option in icedove to be set 
explicitly to point to iceweasel which opens the hyper links when user 
click it. It now gives me no response when I click one http links in 
icedove.

Thanks.
