1. How do you save bookmarks in Dillo? I tried the save URL function but the link that it forms does not work as a bookmark, obviously I am doing something wrong.

2. How can you set up Sylpheed to accept, forward and send HTML encoded e-mails? All of my business e-mails have graphics and links to various of my websites and Sylpheed only seems to want to work with plain text and no graphics.

I can not figure out how to download Mozilla correctly so I need to make Dillo and Sylpheed work for me.

Most email readers automagically encode urls in plaintext email into clickable links, so you should be able to add whatever urls you want to your signature and they should still work, e.g.

--
My Website < http://grimthing.com/ >

See, the url is now clickable, I didn't add any html, the forums took care of it.  Most email clients do the same thing.

<OPINION>
That being said, html email is horrible for any number of reasons.  It's wasteful, it's one of the primary methods of spreading virii and spyware, and it's a spammers wet dream.  I think it would be an understatement to call html email a `pox on humanity', I wrote a < semi-humorous > article on it once, and I hope it might convince you to give that html email shit up.

1. Right-click on the page.
2. I agree with Grim...HTML is for web pages.  That doesn't help, but I don't know the answer.
