Link URL in a received mail in kmail does not open correctly in browser - any solution>

[Mike Cohler]

For some time now including in FC5 for a long while there has been an issue
which I have not resolved.  I use Kmail, and if a mail is received that
contains a url and the link is clicked then it will open Konqueror by
default but the location bar shows that it is a kdecache file that
opens and not the original link.

If you change the file associations in the KDE control centre then it will
open a different browser but still with the incorrect address.

I have put in a BZ at 
https://bugzilla.redhat.com/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=215222

Does anyone know of a work-around for this - or know if this is likely
to be remedied in the future?

Thanks

Mike
