hi Agent experts - I need help. I can't click on a link to open it.
Actually, I CAN click on it, but it doesn't open. Something about "no
application associated with http.....) Tells me to go to options,
general preferences URL types, which I do, but that's where I'm lost.

Can anyone walk me through this? Tired of C&P.


You are using Forte Agent 2.0/32.652 (Good for you!)

Navigate to:
Options General Preferences
URLs and MIME Settings URLs
Launching URLs: check 'Double click to launch'

[Helpfile: "Checking this box allows you to launch a URL
in a message by double-clicking the URL. If you uncheck
this box, double-clicking just selects the text (i.e.,
it does not launch the URL or copy it to the
clipboard)."

This should fix your launch problem. The URL content will
now be passed from Agent, and Windows will interpret the URL
as requiring Internet Explorer or Firefox or whatever you
have set as your default browser, and launch that program.

However, Agent can be configured to do unique things with
each type of URL (http, https, icq, gopher, ETC.) To
confirm your settings for HTTP. Follow the menupath as
above, going to "URL Types" instead of "URLs". In the 'URL'
drop-down list box, select "http: URL:Hyper Text Transfer
Protocol". You should see:

- Enable highlighting and launching. [Checked]
- How to launch the URL -- Use Windows registry settings.
(Custom Settings should all be grayed out.)
