Thanks Cameron,
but I give-up. Can't get firefox running from mutt, even if i
removed (de-installed) mozilla.
That export MOZ_NO_REMOTE=1 has no effect.
Mutt WANT mozilla or konqueror, no other x-browser, nor opera nor
amaya, even if i setted the 'alternatives' the right way, even if i
setted 'export BROWSER=/home/mes-mate/firefox/firefox', even if i
linked firefox to /usr/local/bin..:(
