I was confused way before, trying to assemble a simple non-obsolete, not
OS specific method. No problem ;-)

Yes. If `browse-url' knows how to open Thunderbird (mine didn't).

AFAIK, cb_thunderlink behaves like Thunderbird to open messages. Once
the message is displayed, you have to click in Thunderbird to see it in
its folder or in its conversation. That's why I removed my
cb_thunderlink native application; I will use only the add-on from now
on.

My own configuration is now a lot simpler. Thanks!


How do you think we should proceed to update the wiki ?
