[OU] URLs Launched to Opera Browser from Email (Agent 4.2) | opening urls

[Jim Eoff]

When I launch a web page from a link in an email (in my case from
Agent 4.2 to Opera 9.23 in Windows XP), the focus changes to the
browser. I hope to change the behavior (because often often while
reading email, I like to open a series of links to read later, after I
finish reading all of the email).

To change a similar behavior with Firefox, user Ralph Fox said to use
a combination of settings in Firefox and Agent (quoted below).

I'm hoping someone here can guide me on any applicable Opera settings
and if I'm realy lucky, on the necessary DDE settings to use in Agent
("Agent has to use DDE to pass the URL").

Thank you!

If you are using Firefox 2.0.0.4, then to keep the focus on Agent 
you need this combination of settings in Firefox and in Agent. 

1.  In Firefox 2.0.0.4, at Tools -> Options -> Tabs, 
    you need these settings 

      New Pages should be opened in 
        (•)  A new tab 

      [ ]  When I open a link in a new tab, switch to it immediately
<-- NOT checked 

2.  Firefox has to be already running when you launch the URL from
Agent.   
    (If Firefox is not running, then the focus will move from Agent to
Firefox.) 

3.  Agent has to use DDE to pass the URL to Firefox (already running).
The simplest way to make Agent use DDE here, is to make these 
    settings in Agent. 

    3.1  Go to Tools -> Options -> URL and MIME settings -> URL Types 
    3.2  In the "URL" drop down list, select "http" as the URL type 
    3.3  While "http" is selected, make these settings 

         [x]  Enable highlighting and launching 
         [ ]  Remove URL prefix when launching        <-- NOT checked 

         -----How to launch the URL----- 
          (•)  Use Custom settings (below) 

         -----Custom Settings----- 
         Application:  "C:\Program Files\Mozilla Firefox\firefox.exe"
"%1"    <-- use correct path 
         [x]  Use DDE 
                      DDE Message:   }  Copy these settings from the
help file's 
                      Application:   }  settings for Firefox. 
                      Topic:         }  Click the "help" button and
scroll down 
                      Method:        }  in the help file.
