However, if Firefox is your default browser, clicking on a link in email does open new browser tab, leaving your other tabs intact.

A link in another program will open in the last used window of the default browser. I hate this because I sometimes have perishable information in that window and I can't get it back when my email takes over. Normally I highlight in the email, copy, go to new browser window and paste the URL. It is much more difficult than clicking the link, but it gives entirely predictable results.

When I read my email there are often URLs. I will click on the URL and it will launch IE. The email might have a second URL...when I click on that one it doesn't open a second browser...rather it opens on top of the previous link. Any way to specify that each URL in email should result in a new window? Not sure if it is an email thing (Lotus Notes) or an IE thing. Appreciate your blog Mark Great tip….I’m wondering if you can help me with another tip.
