| 592119 | 2007-09-18 01:30:00 | I have just installed Mozilla Thunderbird 2.0.0.6 to try it out, and loaded old emails from Netscape Communicator. When looking at emails with html text the images are hidden by default and I press a button called "Load Images". This causes Internet Explorer 7 to start and loads all the gif files, one image at a time into a new tab, and then creates a new tab. So for an html with say 20 gifs it opens 20 tabs with one image in each tab! I want it to open the images within the HTML within Thunderbird, so I can see them there in the context they are meant to be shown. Can anyone help me do this please? Things I've tried; Searched Google with relevant key words but not found an answer In IE changed option "Open links from other programs" from a new tab to the current window. This then opens all the images in the one window in IE, each one overwriting the previous In Thunderbird I've clicked the hyperlink to say ALWAYS block images. This puts the sender in address book with option "Always display html images", but still has the same problem. |

| 592121 | 2007-09-18 01:50:00 | Thanks for the advice Speedy, how do I do that? I'm running Windows XP and if I go into "Set Program Access and defaults" there is no Thunderbird option, only IE or "the current browser". In Thunderbird I cant find any setting to say the default browser. I do use Firefox, and tried setting that as the default browser. However now when I open the email in Thunderbird it loads all the images in Firefox tabs. I just want to see the email in the preview/message pane at the bottom of Thunderbird with images. |

| 592123 | 2007-09-18 02:13:00 | Looks like TB is only an email client program not a browser. So, you cant make TB the default browser. Since there is no browser in it. |
