     I've narrowed this down to the extent that the problem only occurs:   
      
     (1) When the URL begins "https", and   
     (2) From within a message in KMail.   
      
   - regardless of whether Firefox or e.g. Opera is nominated as web.   
   brower..   
     Same problem with the other user on this system.   
      
   I.e. no problem with 'https' in URL's in e.g. Pan messages.   
      
   I can see no option in KMail settings that might cause the different   
   treatment of URL's beginning 'https'.   
      
   Please, can anyone throw any light in this situation?
