Opening links

I'm using Thunderbird v1.5.0.4 email client.

What I need to know is there a way to launch links in my email in
separate browser windows. For example, if I have an email containing 2
different links, how can I get them to open in 2 separate browser pages?
I'm using IE 6. I looked in Options to see if there was a setting but I
didn't see anything.

Thanks in advance,
newtechie

Hi,
From IE> Tools> Internet Options> Advanced> Browsing> uncheck "Reuse windows
for launching shortcuts." That usually works with Outlook Express. I suppose
it would work with Thunderbird. ;-)

Hope this helps,

OE will open a new window for the first link but all subsequent links will
open in that same window.

Doesn't help here on IE7. I'll try in later on a machine with IE6 when I
can get on it.
