   As an example, of the following 2 URL's in Kmail:   
      
       http://bugs.freedesktop.org/show_bug.cgi?id=44664   
     https://bugs.freedesktop.org/show_bug.cgi?id=44664   
      
   - the first behaves normally (as if URL given to Firefox)   
      
   - the 2nd copies something and hands the path of that info to Firefox,   
     (which then shows a less graphice version of the target web page).
