[TriLUG] Kmail problem

[Maria C Winslow]

Help!
I have a funny problem with KMail that I can't resolve. It won't open 
links embedded in email (either in Konqueror or Mozilla - the browser 
doesn't seem to matter). First, it stalled for a while, then launched 
the browser. But it was trying to open a file in a temp directory of the 
  kfmexec app (.kde/share/apps/kfmexec/tmp). There is not much 
documentation that I could find on kfmexec, but it appears to be the app 
responsible for launching other apps. Sounds like a permission problem, 
but it wasn't. And now it just stalls for a while and gives up without 
reporting an error. Ideas? It's driving me crazy because I really prefer 
Kmail.

Thanks!
