   I think what he's saying (I'm guessing this because I had the same problem   
   trying to use Firefox) is he would like to use Netscape 7 for mail, Netscape 8   
   for his default browser, and when he clicks on an html link in his mail, have   
   it   
   open the web page in Netscape 8.  I couldn't get Netscape 7 mail to open html   
   links in Firefox, so I switched back to all N7 for now, since it is convenient   
   to have pseudo POP access to Netscape webmail.
