    In N7.1, when I was in mail window, and I clicked on a link, an active (visible) window switched to Navigator.
    After installing 7.2, I click on a link in an e-mail, I can see in a taskbar, Navigator opening a new tab, but my active(visible) window is still my mail window.
    I liked the old way. Is there any setting, I overlooked?

    broni,

    If I understand you correctly, that setting is in Preferences | Mail & Newsgroups | Windows
    When opening messages display them in a new message window

    I hope this is what you're trying to find. If not, lemmeno!

    No....maybe, I wasn't clear.
    I have an email with a link. I RIGHT click on that link, and click "Open link in a new tab ". With 7.1, I got switched to that new tab, with 7.2, I can see new tab opened in my taskbar, but I still stay with mail window.

    broni,

    In both Netscape 7.1, and 7.2, when I right clink a link in a message, and select "Open in new tab" it does, but I do have to minimize the Mail window in order to see the page. I've never had the page do as you describe? Did I miss something good?

    I do apologize for not responding, but I didn't get any e-mail notification about your answer.
    See, I had a different experience with 7.1. Who knows about those **** computers?...LOOOOOOOL
    When I clicked on a link in my e-mail (while with 7.1), it switched to a Navigator window (I didn't have to minimize email window, or click on a Navigator tab in my taskbar). With 7.2, I have to. One more click, but....it used to be one less click.
