Thanks for the reply but I checked to see if anything you mentioned was
even possible and it came out "I don't got none of that stuff."<G>

Just checking to see if others are having the same problem.
yes indeed.
I had 2 mailthreats about this on the debian-user-german.
1. icedove does not open external links.
it opened the browser, but did not handover the URL.
I had to got to the KDE systemsettings and manually change the file
association (program which is called) entry to
iceweasel %u
(or x-www-browser %u, setting up the system alternatives to iceweasel.)
for all http/https.
I checked my file associations and could not find anything about this in
that system settings setup. Hunted all over. Nothing.
2. I changed in the .icedove/<profile>/prefs.js
user_pref("network.protocol-handler.external.http", true);
to true.
Checked my prefs.js file and it has no "network." anything listed for
some reason. Went to the about:config file in iceweasel and could not
find anything that looked like it might help. If there is the same type
of setup in icedove I have no idea yet how to access it.
while callening external links does work now, it had a major impact on
beeing able to add new accounts to ID.
while checking a new imap/smtp server, a link opened in iceweasel,
trying to get info about the mail-server. in this case, I used
self-signed certificates on my dovcot-server and STARTTLS.
switching this value back to "false", I can add new mailservers, but not
open external links.
for the time being, I have to choose, which misbehaviour I can live with
at the moment.
Well, I appreciate your input and yes, I agree, it's one or the other in
your case and I appreciate your reply to let me know what you've found.
It has given me at least an idea that maybe I can do something but
really expect it to be corrected by bug fixes in the end. Or at least I
hope so.
my system:
wheezy,amd64
KDE 4.8.4
iceweasel 10.0.6esr-1
icedove 10.0.5-1
